I am an economist and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Health Policy at Stanford's School of Medicine.  My research focuses on how market structure and policy design shape access and outcomes for patients, particularly for populations that have been historically, socially, or economically marginalized, and often in partnership with governments and private organizations. My work has also been featured in Bloomberg, The Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, Freakonomics, Newsweek, and NPR, among other news outlets.

I currently serve as a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research, Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality, and Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities (LEO), and an Invited Researcher at the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab.  I was previously a Wilson Family LEO Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Notre Dame.
