Hello there! My name is Amritha Jayanti and I'm a technology policy researcher and a technologist. I am interested in the intersection of the S&T/innovation ecosystem, market incentives, and public values.

I currently direct the Technology and Public Purpose (TAPP) Project at Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. I also direct research for Former US Secretary of Defense Ash Carter, who is the Director of the Belfer Center and Faculty Director for TAPP.
