Hi! I am a Ph.D. Student in Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University, with a minor in Data Science. My research interests lie in the fields of applied microeconomics with a focus on economic development and human well-being. I am interested in using Machine Learning as a tool to study economic development.

I am currently the Editor-in-Chief for “Economics That Really Matters”, a blog hosted by the Collaboration for International Development Economics Research (CIDER) at Cornell University. If you are interested in posting your research on our blog, please contact me at hz399@cornell.edu.
