Mitali Roy Mathur
Economics Ph.D. Candidate at UC Davis
I am an aspiring economist whose interests lie at the intersection of migration, development, and labor. I currently serve as an organizing committee member of the Economics of Migration Junior Seminar Series.
Background: Prior to beginning my Ph.D. in economics, I worked in the development sector at IDinsight on research projects related to data quality, gender and behavioral nudges. I received my B.S. in International Economics from Georgetown University. Hoya Saxa!
Resources: I love to document my experiences and provide mentorship, reflections, and resources where useful! I’ve written about each year of my PhD and linked different resources to my blog: (First Year, Second Year, Third Year, Fourth Year) I hope this can serve as a more practical example of what to expect during an economics PhD. This is of course, just my personal experience…
About Me: I enjoy traveling, hiking, playing ultimate frisbee, scuba diving, Odissi dancing, and grilling. You can read more about my background and hobbies on my personal page!
