Tyler Q. Welch, PhD CEBS

I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Risk, Actuarial Science, Healthcare Management, and Legal Studies at Temple University's Fox School of Business. In 2026, I completed my PhD in the Department of Risk and Insurance at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Wisconsin School of Business.

My research interests are tied to applied topics in insurance and public economics. Specifically, I am interested in social insurance (especially Social Security and workers' compensation), longevity risk management, health insurance, household finance, public policy, and poverty.

I am also an Income Security Policy Consultant and Associate Member at the National Academy of Social Insurance. Before the PhD, I completed my undergraduate work in the same department in which I am now faculty.

I earned my Certified Employee Benefits Specialist (CEBS) designation in 2020, which is offered through the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
