Hello!

My name is Arun Frey. I'm a sociologist, and I care about leveraging data for social impact. I research machine learning and government processes at Stanford University's Regulation, Evaluation, and Governance Lab (RegLab). I am also affiliated with the Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science the University of Oxford. In addition to my academic work, I collaborate with public and private organizations to apply data-driven approaches to real-world problems. My work has appeared in PNAS, Nature Communications, and AAAI-24, and has been covered by The New York Times, The Economist, and BBC. It was recognized with the 2021 National Academy of Sciences Cozzarelli Prize. Before academia, I worked at the United Nations in Bangkok and am occasionally still involved with their projects.
