KEY GRAD PROJECT WORK AND PUBLICATIONS
 Econometrics: Lead a team of 4, to build an Econometrics model testing Gauss Markov Linear
Assumptions to analyze the factors decoupling a country's GDP from carbon emissions.
 Machine Learning/Data Mining: Implemented different algorithms like K-Means and Random
Forests using Python, on a school-based survey dataset from The National Longitudinal Study
of Adolescent Health, to study the factors that may influence adolescents’ health and risk
behaviors in United States.
 Economic Analysis of Indiana Geological Survey (IGS): Survey designing using Qualtrics and
Economic Impact analysis of the services provided by IGS using quantitative methods like
Input –output model.(Took an IRB certification for this project).
 Cost Benefit Analysis: Performed cost benefit analysis of one of India’s flagship government
ventures – AADHAR (meaning support), which primarily aimed at uniquely identifying Indian
residents and improved execution of government’s social benefit schemes by linking them to
the unique IDs issued under this scheme.
 ArcGIS: Conductedspatial analysis to examine the potential effects ofgrocerystore proximity,
transportation access, and unemployment rates to determine whether or not food deserts
exist in the suburban area surrounding downtown Boston, Massachusetts.
