Experience

I have specialised experience in Population Studies with a focus on population health, maternal and child health, ageing, and health inequalities. I have worked on large-scale longitudinal and cross-sectional surveys at institutions such as IIPS, TISS, and PRC Gandhigram. My expertise includes data collection, field coordination, and advanced statistical analysis using STATA and SPSS. I have contributed to research on COVID-19 mortality, maternal and infant health, and food insecurity among older adults. Skilled in both quantitative and qualitative methods, I also apply GIS tools for spatial analysis, translating research findings into policy-relevant insights.
