I am a Professor of Public Policy in the School of Economics, RV University, Bangalore. I am a social scientist who has used theoretical and methodological tools of public policy, science and technology studies, health informatics, sociology, development studies and feminist science studies to closely examine implementation of new technologies. The overarching theme that connects my work has been the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for health and development. I am interested in critical analysis of design, implementation and use of ICTs, more recently AI, in public service delivery. My recent research focuses on use of AI and ICTs in nutrition health programs in India.
