I am a Lecturer in the Department of Economics at the University of Aberdeen. Previously, I was a High Meadows Postdoctoral Economics Fellow at the Environmental Defense Fund in New York (2021–2022). I have also served as a Visiting Faculty member at Ashoka University and worked as an Associate Fellow in the Development Economics vertical at the Brookings Institution India Center (2018–2020). I completed my PhD in Quantitative Economics at the Indian Statistical Institute, Delhi.
My research examines the health impacts of pollution-intensive activities such as crop burning and forest fires. I also study the effectiveness of information campaigns and the adoption of electric vehicles.
When I'm not working, my time is dedicated to reading widely and exploring the beautiful Scottish hills on foot.
