Welcome!

I am a Research Fellow at the Hungtington Program on Strengthening US-India Relations at the Hoover Institution at Stanford, an affiliated scholar at the Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law, and an affiliated scholar with the Neukom Center on the Rule of Law at Stanford Law School. I am also a Lecturer at Stanford Law School and in Stanford's International Policy Program.

I study the political economy of development, with a special focus on India. In this context, I work on topics related to education, healthcare delivery, economic growth, and institutional reform. I also work on issues related to the US-India relationship, including a book project on the success of the Indian diaspora in America. I hold a Ph.D. and an M.A. in Politics from Princeton and an S.B. and an S.M. from MIT. 

My C.V. is here.
