Welcome to my website. I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in the Department of Political Science at Columbia University. I study International Political Economy, with a focus on state-firm relations, the distributional effects of FDI, and the politics of climate change, with a number of my projects set in India.

I currently serve as the Political Science Department’s Lead Teaching Fellow, in collaboration with Columbia’s Center for Teaching and Learning.
