2017: Summer Research Assistant, Ratio Institute

There is a growing interest in understanding the causes and patterns of residential segregation in urban areas. I spent my summer researching on the theoretical explanations for the rise of segregation in the absence of discriminatory policy. The research resulted in a working paper titled "Segregation in Urban Areas", under the supervision of Ekon. Dr. Martin Korpi. The paper covers both a theoretical framework based on Thomas Schelling's models of segregation and the empirical challenges of applying those models using observational and experimental data. For further details, see Research section.

2016: Intern, Ratio Institute

Labor strikes and other labor union action play a vital role in labor market outcomes. Within Ratio's multilayered analyses on the consequences of a labor market conflict, I contributed with descriptive statistics for the empirical analysis. The final product, by Professor Nils Karlson and Ida Knudsen, is titled "Kostnader och konsevenser av en arbetsmarknadskonflikt— en fallstudie av byggstrejken våren 2016."

Non-Academic Work Experience

As important as it is to showcase experience from academia, it is equally important to highlight real-world experience. My previous non-academic work experience includes: waiting tables at cafés, telemarketer, busboy at a restaurant, Youth Leader at St Mary and St Paul Coptic Orthodox Church, as well as the occasional English/Math tutoring at public libraries or privately.
