What I'm looking for

I seek an empirical research role using causal inference and experiments to inform health policy, with collaborative academic or policy-oriented teams and opportunities for applied impact.

I am a Ph.D. economist focused on health economics, causal inference, and field experiments, with experience designing online experiments and building machine-learning ensembles to generate personalized health risk estimates. My research has produced policy-relevant findings on incentives, belief confidence, and the implementation effects of preventive-care guidelines, including work accepted at JAMA Network Open.

I combine strong applied econometric skills (difference-in-differences, event studies, regression discontinuity, instrumental variables) and proficiency in Stata, Python, and R with practical experience in large-scale health survey data and prior industry work on supply-chain and materials market analysis. I seek roles where rigorous empirical methods inform policy or program design to improve preventive health outcomes.
