Welcome!

My name is Elizabeth Teas, and I have extensive experience in quantitative data analysis, program evaluation, and project management. I am currently a Senior Research Scientist at Far Harbor in Austin, TX, where I study the impact of education interventions and policies. I completed a dual-title PhD in Human Development and Family Studies and Gerontology at Purdue University in 2023. I am passionate about improving the health, education, and well-being of individuals and families through interdisciplinary research.

My graduate research focused on identifying biopsychosocial processes that impact health and understanding how these processes develop over the life course. I was funded by an NIH NRSA F31 fellowship from the National Institute on Aging (1F31AG072824-01), and I worked under the advisement of Dr. Elliot Friedman.

If I’m not deep in Stata code, I’m usually playing sand volleyball, buried in a book, or heavily caffeinated at a local coffee shop! Take a look around my website and don’t hesitate to reach out.
