Welcome! My work lies at the intersection of education, innovation, and economic development. I examine how education systems develop higher-order skills for a changing labor market and how new technologies influence the scaling of educational innovations.
I am an invited researcher at the J-PAL's Science for Progress Initiative. My work is supported by the Weiss Fund for Development Economics, the National Academy of Education, the King Center on Global Development at Stanford University, the Learning for All Initiative (LAI) at J-PAL, and the What Works Hub for Global Education.
I completed my Ph.D. in Economics and Education at Teachers College, Columbia University in 2024 and a postdoc at the Stanford King Center on Global Development in 2025. Before my Ph.D., I wore many hats—I taught in a juvenile home for children rescued from the streets, launched nationwide teacher training programs, worked as a software engineer, and served as a policy consultant to several Indian state governments.
