Aditi Bhowmick
PhD Student
Harvard Kennedy School
👋 I am a second year PhD student in Public Policy (Economics Track) at the Harvard Kennedy School, and a PhD Scholar at the Stone Program in Wealth Distribution, Inequality & Social Policy. I am currently building a research agenda on social norms and gender inequality across developing countries.
When not trying to make sense of the world through data, I can be found cooking up a storm, painting, or on long (slow) runs with my husband.
