Credentials for Academic Collaboration
27 years in federal, local government, and academic sectors. Services include geospatial study design, demographic analysis, mapmaking, spatial methods, and writing geospatial sections for manuscripts and grant applications.
Core Services
Demographic Analysis
Advanced small area estimation and population forecasting for resource planning and policy analysis.
- Small Area Health Estimation & Forecasting: Developing population and disease prevalence estimates for sub-county geographies to support epidemiological research, health planning, and resource allocation.
- Census Data Analysis: Expert manipulation and analysis of American Community Survey (ACS), decennial Census, and other federal data sources for health-related demographic profiling.
- Subject Matter Expertise in Aging: Applying these generalist methods to project U.S. Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementia (ADRD) prevalence.

Spatial Epidemiology
Applying rigorous geographic methods to understand disease dynamics and data quality.
- Spatiotemporal cluster detection (e.g., suicide clusters)
- Geographic bias analysis in epidemiologic studies
- Disease burden mapping and surveillance
- Survival analysis (e.g., Cox modeling) with spatial variables
- Resolution of the "Small Number Problem" for rare events
- Spatiotemporal correlation analysis
Related Research: Cancer, Suicide Clusters
Geographic Access Modeling
Identifying gaps in service infrastructure using proven spatial accessibility methods.
- Floating catchment area analysis (2-step and adaptive)
- Travel-time impediment modeling
- Healthcare "desert" identification
- Service utilization potential modeling (Supply vs. Demand)
- Site suitability analysis
Related Research: Modeling geographic access to health care, Travel time analysis
