I am an economist and an Assistant Professor of Health Policy at Stanford's School of Medicine. My research, often conducted in partnership with governments and private organizations, 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. My work has also been featured in the New York Times, Bloomberg, the Boston Globe, the Los Angeles Times, Freakonomics Radio, Newsweek, and NPR, among other 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.
