I am a Shukla Fellow and PhD Candidate in Public Policy and Political Economy at the University of Texas at Dallas. My main interests are comparative politics and behavioral political economy, which I typically approach with experimental methods.
My current research centers on factors that influence corruption in society. I have completed a number of field experiments in the US and Pakistan, funded by the National Science Foundation. These studies are aimed at better understanding how cultural factors (including social norms) influence individual willingness to engage in various aspects of corruption, including bribery and nepotism.
Additionally, I am on the job market this year. Please use the links on the left for access to job packet materials.
