About Me

I am Malavika Thirumalai Ananthakrishnan, an economist specialising in Advanced Microeconomics and Development Economics, with an interest in Economic Geography. I completed my PhD in Economics at the University of Kent, Canterbury, in October 2024. My research explores how transportation costs shape agglomeration economies and influence patterns of spatial concentration of economic activities. 

Currently, I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at Azim Premji University, Bangalore. Alongside my research, I have developed some teaching experience, both during and before my doctoral studies.
