I am a Ph.D. student in Consumer Behavior and Family Economics (CBFE) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My expertise is in designing and analyzing quasi-experimental studies for identifying and estimating the causal effect of a particular policy/action/intervention. Broadly, my research interests are at the intersection of policy, technology, behavior, and well-being. Beyond research, I am passionate about communicating complicated academic concepts in a down-to-earth manner with the goal of making them practically relevant and potentially applicable to a wider population. My articles typically focus on applied causal inference, data analysis in R, statistical literacy, human behavior, and happiness. Predominantly, my writings are inspired by the difficulties I have faced and/or observed others around me facing while grasping concepts/methods throughout an adventurous journey in the applied social sciences.
