I am an economist, working at the intersection of mechanism design, game theory, and microeconomic theory. I am also exploring interests in algorithmic game theory and algorithmic mechanism design, as well as Law & Economics. 

Currently I am employed at Ben-Gurion University as post-doctoral researcher working with Omer Lev. 

My job market paper explores a novel knapsack sequencing problem, combining elements of combinatorial optimisation with strategic behaviour under private information.

I hold an Integrated B.S-M.S in Physics from IISER Mohali, and began a Master’s in Economics before transitioning into the Ph.D. program at IISER Bhopal.

In my MS thesis I explored the evolution of Scientific temper in India from colonisation to contemporary times, under the supervision of V. Rajesh. 

My academic work explores strategic behaviour in economic systems, with a focus on fairness and efficiency. My current projects include problems in queueing theory, sequencing under private information, and the design of truthful mechanisms. I have submitted my Ph.D thesis under the supervision of Parikshit De.

Outside of research, I am passionate about teaching and science education. I’ve worked with national curriculum projects, trained educators, and contributed to textbook writing and translation of a part of the celebrated Berkley Physics Course.

I’m currently on the academic job market and open to opportunities in research institutions.
