I am a health economist and an assistant professor 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 am also an Associate Director of the Cornell Health Policy Center and the Cornell Center for Health Equity.

I study Medicaid and the health care safety net in the United States. Through my research, I aim to identify policy levers to address racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in health and health care.

Recent Highlights:

• In the New England Journal of Medicine, we wrote about current threats to — and the importance of — state flexibility in Emergency Medicaid.
• We just launched the Cornell Health Policy Insight Panel, which will regularly survey the nation's top health care policy researchers on timely policy topics. Our first survey focused on the effects of Medicaid work requirements under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
• We have a short article out in Health Affairs Scholar that assesses health care use and needs in the adult Medicaid expansion population. Our goal: establish a baseline ahead of implementation of work requirements under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
