Dr. Himanshu is an Assistant Professor in the Labour Market Research Facility (LMRF) at the School of Management and Labour Studies, TISS, Mumbai. Before joining TISS, he was an Assistant Professor at AIAS, Amity University, Noida. He has completed his M.Sc. in Applied Statistics and Informatics from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, and his Ph.D. in Statistics from Banaras Hindu University.

His primary research focus revolves around the Bayesian analysis of data. Dr. Himanshu has developed various computational techniques and demonstrated their implementation through diverse real data sets. He has presented his work at various national and international conferences and published them as articles in numerous reputed journals. He is also skilled in C, C++, R, and Python programming languages. His software expertise extends to SAS, a powerful computational software in statistics, and LaTex, a software system for creating documents.
