Բարեւ | مرحباً | Hello, & Welcome! 

I am a PhD candidate in the department of Economics at Rice University who brings an industrial organization lens to health, healthcare, and public economics. My current work is focused on cross-market interactions and the role of public option in U.S. health insurance markets that serve aging and low-income populations. 

Outside my research, I serve as an advisor for Foundation for Armenian Science and Technology (FAST)'s Generation AI Program.
