I am a quantitative policy researcher with a focus on aging, long-term care, and healthcare. My research investigates how public policies and socioeconomic factors affect the health and care quality of underserved older populations, particularly older immigrants, nursing home residents, and people with Alzheimer’s disease. Part of my research also highlights inequalities across countries, comparing the wellbeing of older adults in developed countries with secure welfare systems, to those in countries without it. I use econometric methods to evaluate hypotheses generated from real-world insights and from theories of various disciplines of social sciences. My work has been published in medical, health policy, gerontology, and economics journals, including Health Affairs, Social Science and Medicine, and The Gerontologist and has been covered by media such as the Times. 

Previously, I was an associate policy researcher at RAND and a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School.
