Welcome. I recently received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the
Department of
Government at Harvard University.
My dissertation examined the empirical determinants of individual
freedom, using a large cross-sectional, individual-level survey data set
from 36 developing countries from various areas of the world, and
covering a broad spectrum of regime types. I defended my dissertation in
May 2008 and started at the FDA as a mathematical statistician in July
2008.
In
addition, I work with Gary King at
the Institute for
Quantitative Social Science on Zelig, an open-source package
and teaching tool for R.
