Bio
My research primarily focuses on the economics of education and education policy in low-income countries, applying insights from psychology. Recently, I have been dabbling in machine learning and natural language processing and its applications to education research. I have previously worked at the Development Innovation Lab (UChicago), J-PAL and the OECD. Visit my personal website for more information.
