Work Experience

  • Research Assistant for Professor Eric Bettinger, Stanford University (October 2017 - June 2022)

    I was responsible for performing data analysis for multiple research projects and managing field experiments (RCTs and A/B tests):
    - Generated descriptive statistics to inform the viability of projects, which supported decision-making;
    - Applied causal inference methods, including unsupervised machine learning methods to estimate heterogeneity in the treatment effect of interventions, generating research results.
    - Developed and maintained a partnership with a governmental institution to facilitate the implementation and evaluation of a large-scale intervention, delivering a sample size of 40,000 participants to the experiment;
    - Designed a dynamic model to visualize the trade-offs between statistical power and financial needs, which was used to define implementation priorities and funding procurement;
    - Procured and negotiated with potential service providers and financial supporters, securing more than US$180,000 in additional funding.
