Department of Hull College of Business
My teaching interests lie in microeconomics, health economics, and quantitative methods, such as economic modeling and forecasting. I am committed to helping students develop strong analytical and empirical skills while connecting economic theory to real-world applications in health and policy settings. Through active learning and data-driven instruction, I aim to equip students with tools for evidence-based decision-making.
My research focuses on health economics and applied econometrics, with an emphasis on how public policies, such as Tobacco 21 laws and COVID-19 pandemic-mitigating policies, affect health behaviors and outcomes. I utilize large-scale nationally representative datasets and rigorous causal inference methods to produce evidence that informs public health and policy decisions. A core goal of my work is to advance equitable and data-driven approaches to improving population health.
