Roby is currently working on a study of the characteristics of HMO enrollees for the Office of the Patient Advocate, as well as a study on the impact of the national health care reform effort on California's insured and uninsured population. He is also working on two projects evaluating state programs: a long-term evaluation of a chronic care disease management program for Medi-Cal and an evaluation of the Health Care Coverage Initiatives. He also conducts data analyses and policy research related to hospital financing, health insurance affordability, workers' compensation, managed care and provision of care to the uninsured. In addition to his research, Roby teaches the "American Political Institutions and Health Policy" (HS 286) and "Politics of Health Policy" (CHS/HS M287) courses for the MPH Program and two courses on the "U.S. Healthcare System" (PUBH X440) and "Performance Management, Quality Improvement, and Information Technology in Health Care Organizations" (PUBH X446) for the Certificate Program in Health Care Management and Leadership for the School of Public Health and UCLA Extension. He also teaches health policy courses in the School of Medicine (Health Policy Selective) and the School of Nursing (N267).

Before his current position at the Center, Roby worked for four years as a senior research associate at The George Washington University Center for Health Services Research and Policy. He worked on safety net issues, including data analysis and research on community health centers and public hospitals. Roby was also an instructor at The George Washington University Department of Health Policy. Prior to that, he was a research assistant at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research.
