I am currently a PhD Student in Economics at Harvard University. I am interested in topics related to Development, Political Economy, and Deep Learning. Previously, I worked with Prof. Melissa Dell as a pre-doctoral fellow at Harvard on projects that involve the use of cutting-edge Natural Language Processing and vision techniques to analyse novel datasets.

Before that, I worked as a Consultant at the World Bank working with Dr. Vijayendra Rao, Dr. Siddharth George and Dr. M. R. Sharan on projects related to decentralization and local self-government in India.

I have also worked as a Research Assistant with Dr. Farzana Afridi and Dr. Kanika Mahajan on projects related to female labor force participation, marriage markets, and access to cooking fuels in India.

I have a Master’s degree in Economics from Delhi School of Economics and a Bachelor’s degree in Management Studies from Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies, Delhi University.

I am skilled in the use of Python, R and Stata for data analysis. My capabilities include building deep learning pipelines, Web-scraping, working with virtual machines on AWS/GCP/Azure, Statistical Analysis, Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing and Data Visualisation and Cleaning. My work routinely involves the use of recent developments in Artificial Intelligence.
