I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Center for Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) at Brown University. I received my Ph.D. from the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University in 2024.

Another body of my research focuses on weather shocks and Development where I test the political and gender implications of extreme weather events in India and Sub-Saharan Africa, respectively.
