I am a senior at Harvard University studying Statistics and Government, with an expected graduation date of May 2027. I am interested in causal inference, graph theory and network analysis, partial identification, and the evaluation of language models.
I explore ways in which we can make reliable and sustainable conclusions when language models are used to measure text, as their errors and validity change over settings or model versions.
Current work
At Harvard, I work with Professor Guilherme Duarte on partial identification and sensitivity analysis. I also work with Professor Melani Cammett and Dr. Marko Kljajić on meta-analysis of the political economy of war. I also work with Professor Lisa Nickerson and Dr. You (Lily) Cheng on benchmarking neuroimaging foundation models at Kempner Institute (Applied Neuroimaging Statistics Lab).
Outside Harvard
I founded Teevial, an applied research initiative covering Armenian politics and economics from an empirical perspective. Supervised over 10 university students to conduct quantitative research on Armenian issues (depending on the student's interest)
