Edward (Teddy) Knox

Teddy studied Economics, Public Policy, and Data Science at the University of Chicago. In that time, he did research on education and housing issues at the Urban Education Institute, the Aspen Institute, and the Paul Douglas Institute. Prior to Princeton SPIA, he worked at Boston Consulting Group where he primarily supported state government clients across topics including public health, public transit, higher education, and inclusive economic development. After graduation, he intends to work directly in government to help the state more effectively redistribute resources and deliver services to people that need them. In summer 2025, he interned at the City of Detroit's Housing and Revitalization Department where he helped inform their strategy for using affordable housing to develop mixed-income neighborhoods. Teddy grew up in Davis, California, and considers Chicago his second hometown. He loves music and spent his pre‐SPIA summer recording an album with his band The Front Desk.
