Welcome to my site!

​I am a Research Fellow at the Department of Economics and the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Elimination of Violence against Women (CEVAW) at Monash University. Earlier, I was a postdoctoral associate in Economics at New York University Abu Dhabi. I am passionate about research in development economics, political economy, and international security. I did my PhD in Economics at the University of Western Australia. You can find my research work ​here. Also, I am a Junior Fellow at AALIMS and a Research Fellow at Mahbub ul Haq Centre, LUMS. I am also a Junior Fellow at AALIMS, a Research Fellow at the Mahbub ul Haq Research Centre at LUMS, and an Associate Editor at the Economic and Labour Relations Review (ELRR). 

I have recently won the XCEPT grant for research on Women in Cross-border Conflict and Monash-Malaysia Research . For a quick look at one of my papers (published in the Economic Journal), please see this short video or read this blog.
