Welcome!

I am a Research Fellow at the Program on Strengthening US-India Relations at the Hoover Institution at Stanford and an affiliated scholar at the Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law and at 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 poverty alleviation, education, healthcare delivery, economic growth, political rights, and institutional reform. I also write about the US-India relationship. 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.
