I am a postdoctoral associate in the Division of Health Policy and Economics of the Department of Population Health Sciences at the Joan & Sanford I. Weill Medical College of Cornell University. I received my PhD in Health Policy from Harvard University in May, 2025.

I study how incentives shape the behaviors of payers and clinicians, focusing on two core areas. First, I study how payment design in Medicare Advantage influences insurer behaviors and whether these behaviors create meaningful value for beneficiaries through better coverage or care. My work centers on plan benefit design — including newly allowed supplemental benefits, changes to cost-sharing policies, and utilization management tools. Second, I study how vertical consolidation among physicians and health systems affects care delivery and patient outcomes. For example, I have examined how consolidation in primary care affects where patients receive medical services and the fragmentation of care across clinicians. Throughout my research, I seek to understand both overall effects and the impact of policies on socially, economically, or medically underserved groups. This includes work on how alternative payment model design and quasi-experimental evaluation methods can be improved to generate evidence to advance health equity goals.
