Hello, I'm Ryan and I'm based in New York City. I graduated from UCLA with Honors where I studied Economics and Mathematics. I also assisted on research projects that studied political protests and economic development, and wrote a thesis on the effects of the American colonial education system in the Philippines.
This led me to research the economics of education at Columbia with a professor whose previous work gained media attention and was cited by prominent figures. With him, I analyzed the impact of teachers and pension reforms using large administrative datasets and contributed to a widely used statistical visualization tool which was published in a leading academic journal.
Currently, I aim to apply cutting-edge techniques to uncover and analyze new data covering public issues. Feel free to check out my projects and reach out!
Long Bio
Hello, welcome to my corner of the internet
My name is [Francis] Ryan and I am based in New York City. I was born and raised in San Diego, but also grew up in Japan, Guam, and Singapore.
I graduated from UCLA with Honors, where I studied Economics and Mathematics. I also assisted on research studying political protests and economic development, and wrote a thesis exploring the effects of the US colonial education system in the Philippines.
This led me to research the economics of education at Columbia Business School. I worked with a professor whose research gained widespread media attention, which was cited by prominent figures, and was referenced in a significant court case.
I am now interested in using cutting-edge techniques to uncover and analyze new data covering public issues. When not thinking about the above, I am either running around the city, attempting to improve my tennis game, or engaging with art.
Feel free to check out my personal projects and reach out — I enjoy talking to people, discussing new ideas, and sharing recommendations!
