About Me

CV: Welcome

I am a Lecturer in Public Policy at the School for Policy Studies, University of Bristol. 

I work in close collaboration with governments in low- and middle-income countries across South Asia and Africa to answer research questions pertaining to service delivery, policy implementation, civil service reform, and evidence-based decision making. My research has been funded by the International Growth Center (IGC), Economic Development Institutions (EDI), World Bank, and the University of Oxford.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford. Prior to academia, I was a governance consultant at the World Bank where I worked in collaboration with the Agriculture, Education, Health, and Planning Departments across the Punjab and Sindh provinces in Pakistan to implement technology-based reforms for improving service delivery. I have also worked as a research and training manager at the Center for Economic Research in Pakistan to design curriculum and deliver trainings to bureaucrats and politicians on evidence-based decision-making, and as an economist at the IGC to manage research-policy engagement across Zambia, Bangladesh, and Mozambique. I hold a DPhil in Public Policy from the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford, and an MSc in Economics from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
