This is a short bio. I also have a “working in public” doc, have a look at it if you want to learn about my projects!

I am a researcher working on applied problems in global health, epidemiology, and development economics, with a PhD in statistics.

I’m a Consulting Director at Development Innovation Lab at University of Chicago, working with the lab’s founder and Nobel prize winner Michael Kremer on studies of water quality interventions and leading the lab’s other statistical work. I am also a non-resident fellow at Centre For Global Development and a Senior Fellow at Institute for Progress.

My own research is focused on using statistical inference to better support decision making health and global priorities research. I am also interested in metascience. I am independently funded by a fellowship from Coefficient Giving (formerly Open Philanthropy).

I also work on vaccines, including research on fractional dosing of vaccines, accelerating COVID vaccine supply, and supporting human challenge trials (as an advisor to 1Day Sooner). For my work on COVID I was awarded an Emergent Ventures prize. I was previously funded by grants from Schmidt Futures and GiveWell.

As a consultant at Certara (2014-2022) I worked on all stages of drug development, with focus on improving Bayesian modelling techniques in predicting real-world effectiveness of treatments, health technology assessment, and epidemiological modelling.
