Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNalette Brodnax is an Assistant Professor at Georgetown’s McCourt School of Public Policy and a Visiting Fellow alumnus of Harvard’s IQSS, combining 11 years of applied research and teaching in education policy, policy diffusion, and computational social science. She holds a joint Ph.D. in Public Policy and Political Science from Indiana University and specializes in data science methods including randomized experiments, econometrics, program evaluation, and cost–benefit analysis. Her academic work is complemented by private-sector data science experience with companies such as Eli Lilly and Nokia, giving her a practical lens on translating rigorous evaluation into organizational decision-making. Based in Washington, D.C., she bridges quantitative social science and policy practice, often leveraging computational tools to study how evidence travels across jurisdictions. An underappreciated strength is her cross-sector fluency—she navigates academia, government, and industry to design evaluations that are both methodologically robust and policy-relevant.
