Summary
Mason Thieu is an undergraduate economist at Princeton University with eight years of relevant experience blending empirical research and computational methods. He pursues minors in Applied and Computational Mathematics, Applications of Computing, and Statistics & Machine Learning, and applies that training to research in applied microeconomics, education, and health economics. At Princeton he has supported faculty and graduate researchers—building data pipelines, web scraping, and computing shortest trucking routes in Python, mapping state-level outcomes in R, and running regressions in Stata. His work spans archival primary-source research on criminal justice funding to quantile-regression analysis of dowry dynamics in India, signaling comfort with both messy historical data and modern computational workflows. As a course assistant and English conversation partner, he combines technical rigor with clear communication and teaching experience. Based in Cypress, Texas, he’s curious across economics and computing and seeks research roles that turn quantitative insight into better public outcomes.
