Let’s meet this week’s #humansofoiss - Lakshimi Swaminathan from India!
.
“I’m currently a pre-doctoral research associate in the Yale Program of Financial Stability led by Prof. Andrew Metrick under the School of Management. My responsibility along with the other RA’s is to prepare case-studies on interventions that were influential in shaping financial crises of the past so that we can prevent history from repeating itself by helping policy-makers take well-informed decisions.
.
I came to the US mainly because of the structure of the IDE (International and Development Economics) Program directed by Prof. Michael Boozer, which offers students the flexibility to explore other interests within Yale whilst sticking to the core concepts of Development Economics. Such diversity and exploresure helped me understand what really interested me and were the reason why I chose Yale and the US.
.
Outside of research, I love biking, providing tarot readings to my friends here and catching up with grad school friends at Gryphon’s!”
