Hello, I'm
Pedro Nascimento de Lima,
a researcher at RAND Corporation.
I’m an associate engineer at RAND Corporation, a research institution dedicated to improving policy through research and analysis.
Trained as an engineer and as policy researcher, I work across disciplines to inform our most challenging policy decisions with quantitative models and data - even when uncertainty is deep and consensus seems out of reach.
