Welcome!
I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the Department of Government at the University of Essex, since July 2020. Before this, I got my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Rochester in 2016, was a Post-Doctoral Associate at New York University Abu Dhabi, and spent a year at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) as an Assistant Professor in Political Science. My research focuses on comparative politics in developing countries and I am particularly interested in topics related to distributive politics and development, political accountability, clientelism, gender, and South Asia. I have published (and forthcoming work) in The Journal of Politics, The British Journal of Political Science, and Comparative Political Studies.
You can read more about my research under the Research tab above, and view my C.V. here.
