I am currently working in Skilled Migrant Decision-Making Under Uncertainty project, which seeks to better understand the decision-making process of highly skilled migrants and international students who are in the process of migrating to Canada. A majority of these highly skilled migrants and international students are from South Asia.

I am also affiliated with another project entitled, Decentering Migration Knowledge (DemiKnow) Project. DemiKnow brings together four migration research centres, from Australia, Canada, China and India, to create new knowledge about migration scholars from the Global South and North about the roles of families in migration in different contexts, and navigating different structures, cultures, and interests in collaborative international research.

I am interested to be a part of CIRCLE to be informed about the current research related to South Asia and the South Asian diaspora, and also to expand my networks with scholars working with (highly educated) migrants from South Asian countries to Canada.
