I am Professor at the School of Economics, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad. I have an extensive background in applied econometrics, development issues (food security, urban, and health), and using advanced analytics to enable data stakeholders to make informed decisions. I have also served as Director of the School of Economics, Registrar of Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, and I am a member of the Research Advisory Committee (RAC) of RASTA Competitive Grants Program for Policy-oriented Research.
I recently expanded my skill set to include topics like Impact Evaluation Tools, Quarto, tidymodels, doing economics with R, and data visualization using animation and interactivity. I am passionate about skills for jobs now and in the future, virtual learning with new educational accounting systems, and how quantitative reasoning and logic with media, digital, and data literacy can lead actionable initiatives to spot and call out fake/nonsense news.
