Research Experience

Center for Health Systems and Policy Modeling (2024–Present)

  • Driving the development of a supply-side model of the U.S. healthcare system to understand how institutional structures and incentives shape care delivery, outcomes, and spending. This work supports policy evaluation around value-based care, public health integration, and cost containment.

  • Using methods from operations research and causal inference to model the effects of policy reforms on equity and efficiency in healthcare delivery.

Center for Systems Science and Engineering (2019–2024)

  • Created the first versions of the data collection automation pipeline for the Johns Hopkins COVID-19 Dashboard, enabling real-time global pandemic tracking used by billions worldwide.

  • Led modeling and analytics research to balance hospital load and optimize care delivery during COVID-19 surges, using robust optimization techniques.

  • Conducted a multiyear study on COVID-19 mortality disparities across U.S. counties, identifying persistent gaps tied to healthcare access, vaccination, and social vulnerability.
