Current Research1

  • Leveraging the spatial data and machine learning models to identify communities vulnerable to the spread of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection
  • Modeling spatial accessibility to HCV treatment providers
  • Examining the association between proximity to HCV treatment services and HCV treatment outcomes
