 My Visit to India as a Doctoral Scholar
By Jie-Sheng Tan Soo
DGHI Doctoral Scholar
I went to India for the first time last summer to learn and observe how fieldwork is conducted and to understand what life is like in a low- and middle-income country. It was my first time in India, and my first research trip as a DGHI Doctoral Scholar. I'm a PhD student in the Nicholas School of the Environment working with my supervisor and mentor, DGHI faculty member Subhrendu Pattanayak, on research projects related to water and sanitation and improved cookstoves. I'm excited to be working with Dr. Pattanayak.
