I am a health economist, currently working as a Research Associate in the Division of Health Policy and Economics at Weill Medical College of Cornell University and as a Core Faculty Fellow at the Cornell Health Policy Center. I also partner with the United Nations Development Programme, where I design and implement randomized controlled trials aimed at advancing health service delivery in developing countries.
I am broadly interested in health economics and its intersections with public and development economics. My current research agenda examines how government policies, social determinants, and adverse shocks shape health outcomes. I focus in particular on the long-term effects of large-scale shocks on healthcare delivery, physician behavior, and patient utilization patterns. I conduct both independent and collaborative research using large administrative medical claims and novel datasets, employing quasi-experimental and experimental methods.
