I completed my medical degree at SMS Medical College, Jaipur, India, and my postgraduate training in Psychiatry at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh — one of India's most distinguished academic medical institutions. I subsequently completed my General Psychiatry Residency and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship at Penn State Hershey Medical Center, where I also earned a Master of Science in Public Health Sciences from Penn State University.
My work sits at the intersection of clinical care, research, education, and advocacy — united by a shared commitment to improving outcomes for individuals with psychiatric disorders across the lifespan. Clinically, I specialize in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), emotional dysregulation, and psychopharmacology in children, adolescents, and adults.
My research focuses on improving real-world outcomes in psychiatric disorders, with particular emphasis on ADHD and related comorbidities, pediatric irritability, and pharmacoepidemiology. I integrate clinical research, neurophysiological markers, and large-scale national datasets to examine treatment response, medication use, and healthcare utilization — with the goal of generating evidence that directly informs clinical practice and health policy. A central theme across my work is understanding treatment disparities: who receives evidence-based care, who does not, and why.
I am committed to advancing the field through service in national and international professional organizations. I hold appointed committee and board roles across AACAP, APSARD, ABPN, ASCP, and IACAPAP, contributing to initiatives in professional education, certification standards, policy development, and access to child and adolescent mental health care. Underlying all of this work is a belief that professional organizations have a responsibility to ensure that standards, guidelines, and policies reflect the needs of diverse patient populations — particularly children and adolescents with complex psychiatric conditions who remain underserved by current systems of care.
Mentorship is among the most meaningful parts of my academic role. I work closely with medical students, psychiatry residents, and junior faculty to support the development of the next generation of clinician-scientists, with particular focus on research methodology, academic writing, and navigating the transition from trainee to independent investigator. I contribute to continuing medical education through national and international conference presentations, workshops, and academic teaching at Penn State College of Medicine. Helping trainees find their scholarly voice and build sustainable academic careers is a responsibility I take seriously.
