Welcome to my personal website!

I am an applied environmental economist with main focus on economics of climate change and migration.

I am 3rd year PhD Candidate at the Indian Institute of Technology Indore..

My current research relates to the climate change and vulnerability particularly in developing economies. I study:

(1) Flood vulnerability index: an intergrated socioeconomic and environmental approach;

(2) Rainfall and flood impact prediction.

I am also studying the relationship between socio-economic outcomes and flood exposure from the policy perspectives.
