Research Interests

My research interests lie at the intersection of behavioral economics and decision making, particularly in contexts surrounding programs, policies, or data collection aimed at improving livelihoods. My recent work has had a strong emphasis on improving data quality through methodological innovation for evidence-based policymaking. My work is grounded in interdisciplinary collaboration and aims to produce research that is both methodologically rigorous and practically relevant to policymakers, practitioners, and the communities it serves.
