About Me
I am a 6th year Ph.D. student in Economics in the Computational Justice Lab at Claremont Graduate University. My research interests reside within applied microeconomics topics such as gender discrimination, crime, and innovation. I use the causal inference to study gender-based and race-based bias in different settings of the criminal justice system. I also study the impact of rising geopolitical tension on the innovation and scientific production. Further, I am interested in evaluating the use of technological assistance in public agencies, specifically how effective it is in providing information and referrals to the served communities.
