His research focuses on Environmental Economics, Development Economics, and Applied Microeconometrics, with a strong emphasis on sanitation policy, poverty targeting, and behavioral interventions in developing economies.

Key research themes include algorithmic vs. traditional methods for poverty targeting, financial/social incentives for sanitation investments, and experimental evaluations of global health interventions. His work bridges theoretical econometric models with field experiments in regions like Bangladesh, Ghana, Malawi, and Uganda.

Publications span topics such as WASH (Water, Sanitation, Hygiene) program effectiveness, microcredit impacts on environmental investments, and policy design for collective action problems. He has developed tools like statacons for reproducible econometric workflows.
