Bio

Hi! I'm Surya, a current Master's student at Johns Hopkins studying Applied Economics. Much of my research during my time at school has centered around finance and economics, specifically looking at fintech's impact on the finance industry. I love to play the piano, work out, box, and create music in my free time!

Project ideas

Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.

Understanding COVID's Impact on the Adoption of FinTech

How has the pandemic affected the growth and adoption of fintech solutions in different regions around the world? What are some of the challenges and opportunities that fintech companies have faced as a result of the pandemic, such as changes in consumer behavior or shifts in market demand? These are the types of questions we'll be seeking to answer through this project.
