SOMALIS CHY

I am a Data Analyst III at the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis. I work collaboratively with Dr. Jason Jabbari, Dr. Yung Chun, and Dr. Stephen Roll on a host of community-based and applied public policy research, including St. Louis’ 63106 Promise to Success and Choice Neighborhoods initiatives, education and social mobilities, and household financial security.

I received a Ph.D. degree in Human Ecology with a concentration in Consumer Behavior and Family Economics from the Department of Consumer Science at the School of Human Ecology, University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2024. I have a B.A in Economics from Paññāsāstra University of Cambodia in 2016 and an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree from a consortium of European universities in Economics of Globalization and European Integration in 2018.

I have broad research interests on the dynamics of families’ relationships on economic decision-making and their interactions with social policies and benefits with the aim of improving families’ well-being and reducing social and economic inequalities.
