Adolescent Development of Impoverished Nations  GAGE

October 2024 - May 2025

Collaborators: Sandipa Bhattacharjee Ph.D., Michael Mullane

Seeks to identify key socioeconomic variables effecting the health and development of adolescence in impoverished nations. Evaluating how such variables will impact a nations productivity and economic output. The research is still ongoing, conclusions have yet to be drawn, but I am no longer apart of the study due to graduating.

Nursing Home Profitability Revisited

February 2025 - April 2025

Collaborators: Fariba Nosrati Ph.D.. Former collaborators: Tina Nosrati, Zachary Chivers, Anakin Rybacki

Revisited former project by testing new variables and reevaluating former regressions with new techniques. Concluded that the results were the same, reinforcing previous findings. Facilities that focus on health and safety metrics earn higher revenues, but profit is determined by a facility's ability to properly allocate its resources, which can be determined by a multiple of variables, often related to employee management. Facilites should look into using tools such as AI that can assist in the proper allocation of resources.

Healthy Programing

October 2024 - December 2024

Collaborators: Polina Buvaylo, Ryan Reyes, Zaid Zeidan 

Designed a programmed which decreases food waste while maintaining a healthy diet. Using Recipe Search and Diet API by Edamam, the program returns up to five recipes that matches the users' inputs of maximum calories, minimum calories, and ingredients, providing a description and nutrition information. The user can then select an option and have the recipe open in their default browser.

Nursing Home Profitability 

Manhattan College Business Analytics Competition

January 2024 - May 2024

Collaborators: Fariba Nosrati Ph.D., Tina Nosrati, Zachary Chivers, Anakin Rybacki

This project focused on developing an investment strategy for the U.S. nursing home industry. Phase one specifically analyzed for-profit nursing homes from 2018 to 2021. It examined the relationship between investments in safety and quality of care measures and their effect on profitability, with a particular focus on the impact of COVID-19 on these metrics.

In the second phase, the analysis shifted to a comparative evaluation of nursing home performance in New York and Florida during the same period. Key considerations included financial performance, quality ratings, and incident rates, alongside an assessment of future investment potential influenced by demographic trends and legislative changes.

Sub-Saharan Price Fluctuations and Consequences

April 2024 - May 2024

Food price fluctuations create stress across all demographics, but they disproportionately impact the poor, particularly in developing countries with fewer resources. These fluctuations can be triggered by various factors, such as war and climate change, with some causes being self-perpetuating. While governments can implement several strategies to mitigate price volatility, these solutions can be expensive. This paper explores the effects of price fluctuations in developing nations, identifies the underlying causes, and compares potential solutions.

The Effects of Higher Education on Earnings

September 2023 - December 2023

Higher wages are frequently linked to higher levels of education. While research has supported these correlations, the strength of the relationship varies across different factors. This paper demonstrates a correlation between earnings and educational attainment, while also examining the influence of other variables, such as gender, college degree, and work experience, on an individual's earnings beyond their education.

The Economic Cost of Red Tide

March 2023 - May 2023

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are the uncontrolled proliferation of algae in aquatic environments, producing toxins that can harm humans, animals, and ecosystems. Red Tide, a specific type of HAB, is most commonly found in the Gulf of Mexico and typically impacts the west coast of Florida. Years with severe Red Tide outbreaks can disrupt local economies, particularly those dependent on tourism, and in some cases, national markets. These economic costs are often difficult to quantify, as they are frequently hidden as externalities, but their large-scale impact still needs to be recognized. The 2018 Red Tide outbreak reached record levels, significantly harming the tourism industry, while also providing clear examples of how HABs can affect markets beyond tourism. This project examines the economic impacts of HABs and compares the effectiveness of potential solutions. While it primarily focuses on Florida in 2018, it also draws on examples of HAB events in other regions and years.
