I am a fifth-year PhD student in computer science at Stanford University advised by Stefan Wager. My research focuses on data-driven decision making, causal inference, and the application of these tools in public health and poverty alleviation. I am supported by a Stanford DARE Fellowship, Stanford Data Science Fellowship, and NSF GRFP.

Previously, I studied computer science and math at MIT, where I was fortunate to work with Igor Gilitschenski, Daniela Rus, and John Guttag in my first research experiences.

Outside of research, I love to practice yoga, run, swim, and read.

Happy to chat about building inclusive research communities, mentorship, grad school etc. You can email me at rsahoo [at] stanford [dot] edu.
