I am grateful for the opportunity to have studied the no longer extant Computer Speech, Text and Information Technology course at Cambridge, which allowed me to explore the interface between mathematics and language. After finishing the MPhil in CSTIT at Cambridge, I spent a year studying a Masters in Medical Statistics at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and worked for many years with LSHTM and World Health Organization in Global Child Health afterwards. Currently, I have completed a PhD in measuring and evaluating women's empowerment in a complex public health trial in rural Nepal. I am conducting postdoctoral work on gender equality, preventing violence against women, engaging communities in collective action and measuring social norms.
