About

Research Associate at the Water Resources Research Center, University of Arizona, Tucson, United States. I previously served as Assistant Professor of Political Science at Mody University of Science and Technology, Rajasthan, India. My expertise lies in water security and governance, hydropower, and river basin management, with a focus on the hydroโ€“political nexus in South Asia. I have also contributed extensively to reputed journals, including Nature Water, Water, Peace Studies, World Water Policy, and the Cambridge Journal of Political Affairs.

I am currently open to exciting opportunities for Postdoctoral positions, Research Fellowships, and Assistant Professorships in the fields of Water Governance and Policy, Water Security, Transboundary Water Governance, and political science. With a strong academic background and hands-on research experience, I am committed to addressing critical water-related challenges through policy-relevant and interdisciplinary research. My work focuses on advancing equitable and sustainable water management practices, particularly in South Asian regions facing scarcity and complex transboundary dynamics. I am keen to collaborate with institutions and research groups that value innovative thinking and evidence-based policy development. If you are aware of any relevant opportunities or collaborations, I would be grateful to connect and explore further.
