Hello, my name is Hyunji Ahn.
I'm a Postdoctoral Associate at PRISM in the School of Public Health, Rutgers University.
Combining my training as a Ph.D. in Economics with my interests in Public Health, my work focuses on the intersection of Public Policy, maternal health, and health disparity.
Using rigorous causal inference methods, I study how economic and social policies influence health and the well-being of vulnerable populations.
I'll be on the Job Market in 2025-26.
