I am a research fellow with the Center for Digital Strategies at the Tuck School of Business of Dartmouth College. I am interested in studying the role of information technology (IT) in improving the health care delivery using quantitative methods on cross-sectional and panel data. My current research leverages, mostly publicly available, organization-level data and I hope to extend my work in the space of patient/physician-level data. Besides number crunching research, I am interested in photography, travel, arts, and tennis.
