Brief Statement of Research Interest

With over 16 years of progressive experience in teaching and applied economic research, my academic passion lies at the intersection of development economics, food security, rural livelihoods, income diversification, poverty analysis, and gendered dimensions of economic participation. I am particularly committed to contributing to evidence-based policymaking through mixed methods research and robust econometric analysis.
My research explores practical issues faced by marginalized communities, including agro-pastoralist resilience, credit access, intra-household inequality, and the structural barriers to economic empowerment in rural Pakistan. I actively incorporate panel data econometrics, STATA, EViews, and other analytical tools in research design and mentoring. My academic activities have consistently aimed to bridge the gap between theoretical models and ground realities. Currently, I am engaged in the supervision of MS and BS-level research, curriculum development for undergraduate economics programs, and applied research projects focused on food systems and poverty traps in the Global South.
