Thanks for stopping by! My name is Madison Coots and I am a second year Ph.D. student in Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and a Stone Ph.D. Scholar in Inequality and Wealth Concentration. I am also an affiliated researcher at the Stanford Computational Policy Lab. My research interests lie in computational approaches to public policy and decision-making, with applications in criminal justice reform and healthcare.

Outside of academics, I am a senior data scientist at STR. Previously, I've worked as a data scientist in academia and in the public sector. I also have experience working in the energy and utilities sector as a part-time data science and risk consultant with Aerospace Technical Services. Before beginning my Ph.D., I studied computer science (M.S.), management science and engineering (B.S.), and English literature (minor) at Stanford.
