Summary of the investigation:

My research focuses on how socio-economic mobility affects health and mortality, the consequences of incarceration for health, reentry experiences of women just released from prison, and social networks. I rely on statistical and computational methods in my research, with an emphasis on data science and agent-based modeling.
