Biography

Welcome to my site! I’m an Assistant Professor at Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy, where I teach data science in the MS in Data Science for Public Policy and am affiliated with the Massive Data Institute and Department of Sociology.

My research studies how social service bureaucracies use a mix of data and discretion to decide who deserves help, with applications including K-12 school resources, waitlists for housing vouchers, and contrasts between category-based prioritization and algorithmic prioritization. It has been published in outlets including the American Sociological Review, PNAS, and Nature Human Behavior.
