I joined the faculty of the Odum School of Ecology at University of Georgia in 2022, after earning my Ph.D. from the School of Sustainability at Arizona State University in 2019. My work focuses on human behavior and the role of formal and informal rules and social norms in addressing challenges related to shared natural resources. I often focus my attention on agricultural systems, with an emphasis on water governance and household-level climate adaptation. I am also engaged in research on the design of formal rules for water governance at macro-levels of decision-making. management of water resources in both municipal and agricultural contexts. Outside of work, wilderness, travel, wildlife, food, music, vintage technology, and family are important to me. Before making my way to the U.S., I was an engineer in India, working in the corporate consulting industry, embodying the quintessential image many associate with my homeland. |
