About me
Hello! I'm currently working as a Data Scientist at Stanford University's RegLab. We are a team of interdisciplinary researchers trying to improve how regulations are implemented, through thoughtful applications of data science. For example, we work with the US Environmental Protection Agency on projects using computer vision and remote sensing to detect potential violations of environmental policy.
Previously, I was studying public policy and data analytics at Carnegie Mellon University. Alongside courses in machine learning and optimization, I learnt about AI ethics, design thinking, transportation systems, and more.
I also spent close to 5 years working at the Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) on various projects with Indian state government departments. My team used administrative data to provide quick insights on programs, identify data quality improvements, and scope longer-term impact evaluations/experiments.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from the University of Cambridge.
Things I have worked on
-
Machine Learning
Regression and classification problems using structured data, computer vision on satellite imagery (segmentation, object-detection, image classification)
-
Data cleaning and analysis
With various messy survey and admin datasets across domain areas
-
Project scoping and management
Team and budget management, working with technical and non-technical stakeholders
-
Impact evaluations
Design and implementation of randomized control trials/AB tests, process monitoring, and other "classical" causal inference methods
-
Survey design and execution
Sampling strategies, questionnaire development, monitoring data collection
Things I know a bit about, but have less experience with
-
Optimization
Class projects on linear and integer programming applied to decisions like facility location, resource allocation
-
Product management, UI/UX
Small scale user research workshops, developing a front-end with stakeholder input
-
Design
Posters and infographics using Adobe suite
