Shruti Shukla

I am Shruti Shukla, a PhD candidate in Global Health at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). My research examines gender-transformative interventions and their impact on adolescent maternal and child health in low- and middle-income countries. I also work as a Research Associate at TUM, leading projects on gender-based violence and economic empowerment.

Previously, I contributed to studies on intimate partner violence in Tanzania at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and managed large-scale research on COVID-19’s impact on gender inequities in India and Zambia. My field experience spans South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, with expertise in mixed-methods research and policy-relevant evidence synthesis.

I have published in journals such as Journal of Global Health, Social Science & Medicine, and Sexual and Reproductive Health Matters, and presented at international conferences, including the IHEA Congress and SVRI Forum. Beyond research, I teach global health courses and advise organisations like WHO’s Global Action for Measurement of Adolescent Health (GAMA).
