Welcome to my personal website!
I am an applied environmental economist with main focus on economics of climate change and migration.
I am a 3rd year PhD Candidate in Economics 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.
