Mridul Joshi

I am a PhD candidate in Economics & Education at Stanford University. I study how technology shapes learning and how education shapes the way people use technology.

I think a lot about how people learn and acquire skills, and how education policy can better account for differences in human cognition. I combine tools and theory from economics and psychology to study questions in education and development, mostly using field experiments.

Prior to Stanford, I was at the University of Chicago, working as a predoctoral fellow for Professor Michael Kremer. Before that, I worked at J-PAL and the OECD.
