I am currently working with the Andhra Pradesh Children and Parents Study (APCAPS) cohort, primarily on a MRC-funded study to explore the causes, consequences, and experience of multimorbidity in peri-urban India.
I completed my ESRC-funded Demography PhD in the Department of Population Health of LSHTM in 2020. I used mixed-methods and primary and secondary data to assess the potential impact of family structure change for social support to, and health of, older Indians. Prior to my PhD I completed the Demography and Health MSc at LSHTM, and the BSc in Biomedical Science at King's College London.
