About Me
Hello! I’m an Engineer-turned-Economist and a Ph.D. student in Economics at Boston College, advised by Prof. Pablo Guerrón-Quintana. My research is in macroeconomics, international finance, and time-series econometrics, including the use of time-series foundation models for macroeconomic forecasting and structural analysis.
After graduating from IIT Delhi in 2014 with a B.Tech in Civil Engineering, I developed a strong interest in economics, which led me to a Master’s degree at the Delhi School of Economics. I began my career as a Model Validator at Credit Suisse, then built machine learning models at American Express, and moved to Goldman Sachs as an Economics Research Analyst covering India’s macroeconomy. Before starting my Ph.D., I was a Research Associate at the Centre for Advanced Financial Research and Learning (CAFRAL), Reserve Bank of India.
