José Ramón Enríquez

Postdoctoral Fellow, Stanford University

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Golub Capital Social Impact Lab (Stanford Graduate School of Business), and the Digital Economy Lab (Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence). I am also an Affiliated Researcher at the King Center on Global Development.

I study how digital technologies can enhance governance and promote prosperity in developing contexts. My recent work centers on AI for civic participation and collective decision-making, misinformation mitigation, and leveraging large language models for economic measurement in data-scarce environments.

I received my Ph.D. in Political Economy and Government (PEG) from Harvard.
