I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Energy, Environmental, and Food Economics at Pennsylvania State University with a specialization in Environment and Natural Resources. My research focuses on environmental policies' intended/unintended consequences on sustainable development in resource-crunched economies. I am interested in water resources and their impact on socioeconomic development, especially groundwater. Before joining Ph.D., I worked as a Pre-Doctoral Fellow with International Water Management Institute (IWMI). I hold Bachelor's degree in Physical Sciences from St. Stephen's College and a Master's in Mathematics from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. Currently, I am also serving as a Member of the Water Council at Penn State.
