About
I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford’s King Center on Global Development. In Fall 2027, I will join the University of California, Davis as an Assistant Professor of Political Science. I received my PhD from the University of California, Berkeley.
I conduct research on the political economy of development, gender and politics, and environmental and climate politics, with a focus on India. My work has appeared in the American Political Science Review, The Journal of Politics, and World Development.
My research is supported by the National Science Foundation, the Fulbright Association, CEGA, the Global Democracy Commons, and the Weiss Fund, among others. My approach to research is motivated by an explicit goal of policy impact, informed by my background in international public policy (at the State Department, the World Bank, USAID and IDInsight).
