Background:
Welcome to the Computational Epidemiology Lab
New NSF award on addressing the opioid crisis ("Community-Driven Data Engineering for Substance Abuse Prevention in the Rural Midwest").
Presentation on Smart Cities and Public Health given at the 2017 Midwest Big Data Hub All-Hands Meeting in Omaha, Nebraska.
I work on "big picture" public health issues that leverage data analytics, systems thinking, and complex systems modeling to translate data into action.
Check out my research group website, CompEpiLab. I regularly update it with posts and links to data, events, coding tips, and videos.
