August obtained their PhD from Brown in 2017 in Applied Mathematics and Computational Biology. Outside of work they organize against criminalization and the police state. Both their research practices and organizing work are guided by the belief that crisis and uncertainty are a gift and that we must be involved in shaping how change happens.

The deferred acceptance (DA) propensity score approach is a highly credible causal inference method due to its ability to approximate a randomized control trial (RCT) closely. However, this method is typically very complicated and computationally expensive to run, with no published package available in any programming language ecosystem. We developed a package in Julia to run the DA propensity score approach that will be easy for applied researchers in education to use and implement.
