I am a PhD candidate at Harvard. My interests are in entrepreneurship/strategy and technology/AI for economic development and social impact. My work assists both small business entrepreneurs, and high-growth technology firms that serve them, to grow with technology and AI in emerging economies. It also focuses on social and environmental impact.
I use ML, causal inference, field experiments, and applied theory, and I have won large funding awards, including IGC and Grand Challenges, multiple Best Paper Awards, as well as the INFORMS/MSOM Award for Responsible Research.
I received my bachelor's in statistics and economics, and master's in economics from the University of Cape Town, South Africa. Prior to Harvard I worked as a researcher with Innovations for Poverty Action.
