ABOUT ME
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at UC San Francisco and the Center for Clinical Informatics and Improvement Research. I am also a faculty affiliate at the UCSF Bakar Computational Health Sciences Institute, the Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies and the UCSF UC Berkeley Joint Program in Computational Precision Health, and a Senior Advisor at the Stanford Clinical Excellence Research Center.
My research is on information technology and digital health. I’m interested in the ways that information technology affects patients, providers, and health care organizations. Methodologically, I am primarily a quantitative social scientist, applying techniques developed in economics and statistics to medicine, including the use of natural experiments to identify causal effects from observational data. Much of my current work is on the use of electronic health records in care delivery organizations. My research has been published in peer-reviewed journals including JAMA, Health Affairs, The American Journal of Public Health, Health Services Research, and JAMIA, and has been featured in popular press outlets including The New York Times, The Atlantic, Politico, and NPR. I received my PhD in Health Policy (Management) in 2021 from Harvard University and Harvard Business School.
