At Purdue, I am the lab manager for the Joe and Maggie Kernan Experimental Social Science Lab. Prior to this, I was the Research Fellow for the Law and Conflict Research Lab wherein I managed a large quantitative data collection project involving incumbent-rebel conflict. I also trained undergraduate research assistants, and conducted weekly workshops on different components of social scientific research, which I enjoyed thoroughly. Further, I am affiliated with the Computational Social Science Lab.
I am passionate about pursuing theoretically driven and methodologically precise research projects. As a result the of classes I have taken at Purdue and outside, I have built a wholistic expertise in research methodology that I continue to expand upon. My skills cover a range of qualitative and quantitative methodologies, such as causal and inferential statistical analyses, survey and behavioral experiments, text analysis, and qualitative coding. Outside the department, I have advanced quantitative research methodology training from ICPSR at University of Michigan and survey methods training from Summer School in International Survey Methods at Vanderbilt University.
Born and raised in Kolkata, India, I moved to Purdue University in 2017 where I received my BA in Political Science and BSc in Psychology in 2021 with minors in English, Philosophy, Human Rights and a certificate in Public Policy. Further, I received my MA in Political Science from Purdue in 2023, before continuing my PhD journey. Outside of research, I have a penchant for travel and food.
