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 and emerging technologies impact people’s behavior, hardship, and well-being.
My current research focuses on three areas:
(1) Impact of social safety net programs on economic hardship
(2) Influence of public policy on mental health
(3) Financial technologies (Fintech) and financial well-being

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)
