I study how information, media, and incentives shape political and market outcomes.
About
I am an economist working in microeconomic theory, political economy, and information economics. I completed my PhD at Shiv Nadar University in 2024 and currently support Microeconomics courses at New York University Abu Dhabi by conducting recitation sessions and providing academic support.
My research asks how the way information is produced and shared — through the media, elections, and markets — changes the choices that people and institutions make.
