My name is (Francis) Ryan and I currently live in NYC. I was born and raised in San Diego, but have also lived in Tokyo, Guam, Singapore, and Los Angeles.
I graduated from UCLA with honors where I studied economics and math, and also wrote a thesis on the enduring economic impact of the US colonization of the Philippines. This fortunately led me to come to NYC to work on research projects in economics at Columbia University. These days, I like to work at the intersection of economics and data when thinking about topics I’m interested in, from political economy and economic development to urban design and architecture.
When not thinking about the above, I also like to run, attempt to play tennis, watch movies, admire art, and explore the city. Feel free to reach out to me through email!
Thanks again :)
