Biography: My research interests lie in addressing challenges of inclusion in education and the workforce by understanding the realities of individuals along with the broader ecosystems in which these challenges are embedded. I am studying these challenges using methods that are psychologically informed with tools from behavioral science and experimental economics.

I hold a Bachelor's degree and a Post Graduate Diploma in Economics. Previously, my work has involved studying the cognitive and social costs associated with challenges in education, social inclusion and health, and identifying behavioral solutions that are rooted in data-driven evidence.

Outside of work, you can find me hopping around new cafes in the city and painting (usually outside the lines). Email: divekr3@rpi.edu
