I am a PhD candidate in Economics at Boston University. My research interests are in empirical macroeconomics and financial economics. I received a Master's degree in Economics from The University of Texas at Austin. Before moving my focus to economics, I worked for various technology firms in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have a Master’s degree in Computer Science from The University of Southern California and a Bachelor’s degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering from Visvesvaraya Technological University in India.
