Student Advisor and Mentorship — Brian Jabarian

Student Advisor and Mentorship

I mentor undergraduate, master's, and Ph.D. students in empirical research on AI, labor markets, and behavioral economics. Many begin as research assistants and transition to Ph.D., predoctoral, policy, and industry research positions. Mentees have placed into Ph.D. programs, predoctoral fellowships, the Federal Reserve, policy institutes, and industry research roles.
