Cyrus Khandalavala

Cyrus Khandalavala is a sophomore at USC majoring in International Relations and the Global Economy. His academic interests include development theory, international finance, and institutional reform, as well as medical and economic anthropology.

Outside of his major, Cyrus is still a huge nerd and enjoys reading depressing Russian novels, studying the make-up of Los Angeles, and being too academic about music and stand-up comedy.
