I am an assistant professor in the Department of Family and Consumer Studies at the University of Utah.
Broadly, I am interested in understanding how public policy, technology adoption, and cultural shifts impact people’s behavior, hardship, and well-being.
My current research focuses on four areas:
(1) Safety net programs and economic hardship
(2) Influence of policy and family structure on mental health
(3) Measurement of financial health and economic hardship
(4) Technology adoption and financial health

Name pronunciation: Vivekananda -> vee-vake (rhymes with cake)- ə (shorter uh)-naan (Persian flatbread)-thuh (as in "the" before consonants) + Das -> thuh-sh ("sh" as in ship)
