Welcome!
My name is Vikram K Suresh, and I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in Computer Science at the University of Cincinnati. I am on the job market for the 2025-26 academic year. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Cincinnati in 2023, where I specialized in Bayesian inference.
My substantive research interest is in exploring the factors that influence educational outcomes and economic inequality, with a focus on standardized testing, impact evaluation, and the role of artificial intelligence in policy.
My Job Market Paper uses AI as an external audit of Standardized Tests and documents the impact of changes in the test informativeness (pdf).
In addition, I have significant experience teaching undergraduate coursework. I focus on three tenets, implementing pedagogical best practices; supportive learning environment to support students in their success; and I promote holistic development of the students beyond the classroom.
