Ashwin Joshi : Voyager Scholarship
Ashwin Joshi (’28, Interdisciplinary Studies) is interested in ownership transparency in healthcare real estate. At UC Berkeley, his Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) research mapped corporate ownership across all 2,192 Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing facilities in California, Florida, Washington, and Arizona, producing an open-access dataset published on Dryad. He extends this research into public discourse through his podcast, Architecture of the Inevitable, which features economists, operators, and capital allocators in senior housing and long-term-care finance. Ashwin is now building on this work in an honors thesis about how ownership structure should be regulated. He also founded All Teens Financial Academy, which serves students globally, and testified before the Washington State Legislature, where his research supported unanimous House passage of financial literacy policy HB 1915, work that has since informed the state’s FutureReady graduation requirements.
