Saloni Bhogale

Welcome! My name is Saloni Bhogale, and I am pursuing an M.S. in Statistics (Applied Statistics) and a PhD in Political Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

In my research, I broadly study the political economy of development - particularly, my dissertation involves chapters that study access to justice. I look at the role of elected representatives in conflict mediation, evaluate the impact of legal reforms on judicial system and study the effects of a large road-building program. I have other ongoing work on the incentives and representation in parliamentary institutions.

I also work on applications of flexible machine-learning methods for causal inference. I am affiliated with UW-Madison's Center for High Throughput Computing and leverage scientific computing to improve performance of tasks in the research pipeline.
