Research Theme

My research interest is in policy learning. I study how to design an optimal public policy from experimental/quasi-experimental data, especially, under the circumstances that feasible policies are externally constrained for ethical, legislative, or political reasons. I am currently working on (i) how to modify/apply machine learning methods to policy learning problems and (ii) how to design optimal dynamic treatment regimes for public policies.
