I work with public agencies and international organisations to bring causal inference and machine learning to bear on policy questions, mainly in migration and labour-market policy.

Path2Work

My current focus is ↪Path2Work, an online job-matching platform that supports refugees in Switzerland in finding employment. Path2Work is built jointly with a team of researchers at ETH Zurich and the University of Lausanne, and is supported by the Swiss State Secretariat for Migration (SEM) and the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), in partnership with UNHCR.
