Social & data scientist.
As a Ph.D. Student at Columbia University, my current research explores the relationship between innovation and inequality.
More specifically, I’m employing computational, statistical, and spatial techniques to study and address various forms of urban inequality. I’m particularly interested in the ways science, technology, and data intersect with racial inequality, housing & neighborhood inequality, crime, policing, and community safety.
My current research project is using urban mobility data to measure changes in neighborhood travel in New York in response to local violent policing. My methodological approaches range in interest, from time series analysis and causal inference from observational data to GIS & spatial data science. I’m also working on various collaborations, exploring topics such as the transition from residential segregation to movement segregation, or the impact of police violence and on social attitudes towards systemic racism.
