I have 5 years of experience, and specialize in the field of economics with specific knowledge in the areas of national defense, cost-benefit analysis and statistical methodology. I have published on such topics as the value of a statistical life, vehicle safety (military and civilian) and post-traumatic stress disorder. I have consulted for the U.S. Defense Department and the Institute for Defense Analyses, and I frequently go to the Pentagon and other military installations to give briefings on my research.
