BioKarmini works at the intersection of economics of gender, development economics and experimental economics. She has used randomized controlled trials, lab-in-the-field experiments and laboratory experiments to understand deterrence of sexual harassment, gender segregation, and discrimination.

More recently she is working on projects related to gender inequalities in health care utilization and role of technology in reducing sexual harassment.
