Welcome to my personal website!
I am an applied environmental economist with main focus on economics of climate change and migration.
I am a Visiting Assitant in Research at the Yale University and 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.
