I am a second-year student in the Department of Economics at Stanford University and a Graduate Student Fellow. My areas of interest include development and econometrics. I am particularly interested in migration and urban economics.

I am currently working on projects in Cote d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia and Mexico.

Before starting my PhD, I worked as a Research Manager for Prof. Pascaline Dupas and Prof. Marcel Fafchamps on the AUDRI Project. In 2018, I graduated with Master in Economics from ENSAE and Polytechnique, Paris, France.

Personal

I became interested in Economics when I was living abroad. I am very thankful to all the people I met at the Daly College boarding school in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India and to all the exceptionally inspiring professors at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and finally to all the anonymous people who helped me travel safely from Beijing to Chengdu onto Kunming.
