Senior🎓
Top SchoolIsabelle Cohen is an Assistant Professor of public policy and development economics at the University of Washington with eight years of field and academic experience across Africa, Asia, and North America. She completed a PhD in Economics at UC Berkeley (2021) and brings deep expertise in randomized evaluations, data quality, and research transparency from roles at J-PAL, D-Lab, and multiple research centers. Isabelle combines rigorous empirical methods with practical field management—having led RCTs on financial access in rural India and conducted fieldwork in Uganda—to ensure research is both credible and operationally feasible. She also has a strong teaching and mentoring record, developing workshops in Stata and LaTeX and supervising students in impact evaluation. A less obvious strength is her blend of grant/financial management experience with hands-on data cleaning and code replication, which strengthens both project stewardship and reproducibility.
