Housed at the USC Price School, this PhD trains scholar-engineers of governance who translate RCT p-values into statute and scrape gigabytes of API exhaust into real-time dashboards for city halls. Candidates build Bayesian structural-time-series models that estimate homelessness interventions block-by-block, randomize algorithmic-audit nudges inside state HR portals, and run lab experiments on bureaucrat risk tolerance using VR wildfire simulations. A Tech-Reg Foresight studio games out EU AI Act ripple effects for U.S. agencies, while Capitol fellowships craft testimony on gig-economy portable-benefit pools. Graduates publish in *JPAM* at dawn and rewrite procurement clauses by dusk.
