Alex Schulte is a Health Policy PhD student at UC Berkeley’s School of Public Health. Her research focuses on the role of social and organizational networks in improving equitable access to healthcare, in particular sexual and reproductive healthcare. Alex is interested in leveraging computational social science methods, such as causal inference and machine learning, to address complex research questions with the goal of improving health equity. Prior to starting her PhD, Alex led sexual and reproductive health programming at the Deloitte Health Equity Institute in New York City. She...

Elizabeth Breen

Berkeley Computational Social Science Fellow
Sociology, Demography, UC Berkeley

Elizabeth Breen is a PhD student in the Sociology and Demography departments at UC Berkeley. Her research interests center on the social and historical determinants of human health, particularly the distribution and repercussions of infectious disease. Her current project examines the internalization of neoliberal economic ideology and its effects on workers’ fundamental social ties, like those to family, friends, and broader communities, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Breen's faculty mentors at UC Berkeley are Professors Christopher Muller and Laura Enriquez....
