CHAROO ANAND

I'm a PhD candidate in the Department of Economics at UC Berkeley. I expect to graduate in 2026 and am looking for jobs in the intersection of economics and data science.

My independent research explores how transport infrastructure shapes development and segregation, using a causal design and GIS tools. This research is supported by the Berkeley Opportunity Lab. In my work (and sometimes outside of work), I use R and Python.

I have 6 years of experience teaching economics, quantitative methods, history and public policy to students from diverse backgrounds. In 2024-2025, I served as Co-President of Economists for Equity at Berkeley, a graduate student organization dedicated to supporting students from underrepresented backgrounds through mentorship, research grants, and community-building events.         

Before starting my PhD, I received a BSc in Econometrics and Mathematical Economics from the LSE and worked at the Centre for Economic Performance.
