About Me

​​

I am cofounder and chief scientific officer at Protege. I am also a Assistant Professor at the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University. I  focus on evaluations of AI using quasi-experimental and causal inference methods. My broader research lies at the intersection of healthcare innovation, economic policy, and data-driven evaluation, with a particular emphasis on aging populations and the effects of policy and technology on medical spending and health. 

​

At the O’Neill School I teach SPEA-V -370 Research Methods and Statistical Modelling. I regularly teach health economics, and microeconomic theory. my IU email is eziedan@iu.edu
