🌐 Economist | Computational & Comparative Methods | Institutional Development I combine advanced computational methods with comparative institutional analysis to examine economic development across countries and historical periods. My research uses machine learning, natural language processing, and econometric analysis alongside traditional archival research to investigate how institutional structures shape long-run development trajectories. CURRENT RESEARCH FOCUS: I'm currently working on four major research projects: 1. Health & Energy Transitions (UK-Australia) 2. Colonial Institutional Legacies & Health Disparities (Australia) 3. Energy Poverty & Housing Institutions (Multi-Country) 4. Colonial Economic Structures & Political Attitudes (Australia) CURRENT ROLE: Deputy Director of Undergraduate Programs at SP Jain School of Global Management (Sydney), where I lead curriculum development, teach economics and quantitative methods, and supervise research combining AI with economic analysis. Previously taught at University of Delhi (8 years) and currently casual academic at University of Sydney. EXPERTISE: - Computational Methods: Machine learning, NLP, neural networks, text mining - Programming: Python (pandas, scikit-learn, TensorFlow, spaCy), R, MATLAB - Econometrics: Time series, panel data, causal inference, spatial analysis - Research Areas: Institutional economics, health economics, energy transitions, development economics, economic history BACKGROUND: - Ph.D. in Economics (Environmental Economics & Quantitative Methods) - 12+ years university teaching experience (India & Australia) - Published in ABDC A-ranked journals and FT50 journals (under review) - 4 books/book chapters (Routledge, Springer) GEOGRAPHIC EXPERTISE: Deep knowledge of South Asian and Australian economic systems with expanding work in UK and OECD countries.
