  I worked on "Air Quality Assessment at an Urban Site in Delhi in 2016".

  Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

  Jan 2022 - Jul 2022

  Research Intern

  My research topic was "Disparities in Air Pollution Exposure and Disease Burden in India". I calculated population-level variation across rural India of PM 2.5 exposure utilizing census data from 2011 and reviewed over 15 years of GBD-India data on particulate matter pollution & burden (DALY, Death Rate) of T2DM & Tracheal, Bronchus, and Lung Cancer to calculate disparities in impact. The need for this study occurs as policymakers first need to have a clear picture of the health challenges present in their respective countries and change those challenges with time if they wish to align the health system with the population. Also, to establish appropriate plans and effective interventions to protect public health from the adverse effects of air pollution it is important to identify factors related to the disparity in air pollution mortality and most affected groups in a given area.
