I joined Royal Holloway's Department of Politics, International Relations and Philosophy in October 2019 on an ESRC Post-Doctoral Fellowship. I am now a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow (starting October 2020). Prior to joining Royal Holloway, I was an Assitant Professor (Teaching Focus) in the School of Politics and IR, University of Nottingham, where I obtained my PhD in Political Science.
My research interests lie at the intersection of comparative politics, Indian politics and quantitative methods.
My research has been published in the British Journal of Politics and International Relations, Regional and Federal Studies, World Development, and Seminar among others.
My doctoral dissertation explained the puzzle of why regional parties succeed in some Indian regions, but not in others. I showed that when national parties are decentralized and the regional branch is granted more autonomy, regional parties find it hard to succeed. A second component of the dissertation investigates why some regional branches of national parties have more autonomy where others do not.
At RHUL, I convened a third specialist undergraduate course on the Politics of South Asia, or PR3965.
I am also teaching on PR2000, an introductory quantitative methods course taught to second year undergraduate students.
In the past I have taught PR1000, an introductory research design course for first year undergraduate students.
At Nottingham, I led classes on Comparative Politics, Introduction to Quantitative Methods, Q-step Advanced Quantitive Methods, and Party Systems across the Globe.
