Biostatistician & Geospatial Analyst | Expert in R, Stata & GIS

Profile Summary

I am an interdisciplinary researcher with a keen interest in geospatial (spatial and spatio-temporal) statistics, epidemiology, broad aspects of biostatistics, public health and applied statistics. My research experience includes, among others, quantitative data analysis, geospatial mapping, designing field/surveillance studies (sampling designs), data collection and management, and exploratory research. I have Strong skills in R and STATA programming as well as GIS software
