My name is Michael Zoorob; I’m a PhD candidate in Government (academic political science) at Harvard, where I started in September 2016.  Before then, I graduated from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. I am a very interested person (in political, economic, social, and philosophical issues, among others) and always aspiring to become more interesting. I grew up in Brentwood, Tennessee. Long term, I’m interested in a career in academics and consulting.

I like applying scientific computing to formulate/answer social scientific questions. I’m particularly interested in 1) issues of inequality, social capital, and representation 2) public health issues, especially related to mental illness and substance use.
