Welcome to my personal website!
I am a health economist and an Associate Professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the University of Maryland, College Park. I am also a faculty associate at the Maryland Population Research Center and a core faculty member at the UMD Center on Aging. I received my Ph.D. in Health Policy and Management (economics cognate at the UCLA Department of Economics) from the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health.
I currently investigate how social factors shape health and healthcare-seeking behaviors and evaluate the health impacts of public programs. I am teaching research methods and health policy. Most of my current research focuses on education, housing, evaluation of Medicaid reforms, and the long-term impacts of Medicare. My research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other foundations and featured in leading journals, including the American Journal of Health Economics, Journal of Health Economics, Health Affairs, and Health Services Research.
