I'm Zubiya Moin — an economist and research consultant at Rocket Science UK, specialising in quantitative impact assessment, programme evaluation and social policy research. My analysis has informed parliamentary debates, national charity strategy and local government decision-making across the UK.
I work across the full research lifecycle — from designing evaluation frameworks and sourcing data, through advanced econometric modelling, to communicating findings that decision-makers actually use.
Designing evaluation frameworks aligned with HM Treasury Magenta & Green Book guidance — quasi-experimental designs, control groups, synthetic control methods and significance testing for robust causal claims.
Bespoke models for real client problems: Bayesian structural time-series forecasting, penalised logistic regression, double-debiased machine learning, LASSO, quantile regression and propensity score matching.
Social Return on Investment analyses, value-for-money frameworks and sustainable costing models that help funders and commissioners understand the value their programmes create.
Deep knowledge of UK public data — Census, NOMIS, StatXplore, Fingertips, IMD, 360Giving. I build choropleth heatmaps, deprivation rankings and funding-flow maps down to MSOA level.
End-to-end survey design and management, crosstab analysis, plus fieldwork — interviews, focus groups, workshops and site visits — with thematic analysis to surface what the numbers can't.
Reports cited in parliamentary debates, dashboards, client presentations and workshop facilitation. I also led Copilot AI integration at Rocket Science, cutting proposal development time by ~50%.
