I have applied spatial analysis to address a variety of problems in biology, environmental science, public health, and business. I have also worked on uncertainty issues related to GIS. I have used neural networks for pattern classification, estimation, and mixture modeling. My current funded research includes the development of a marine integrated decision analysis system (MIDAS) for Massachusetts, malaria risk mapping in Ethiopia, analysis of patent activities in China, and mapping health service delivery in Zambia. I am funded by the National Science Foundation on a GK-12 grant\u2014Global Change Initiative\u2014Research and Education (GLACIER) focusing on outreach to middle schools in the Boston area. In addition, I am funded by Rockefeller foundation on work related to data mining and visualization and the MacArthur\u00a0Foundation on assessing the impact of climate change on food security and biodiversity in Cambodia.<\/p>\n<h3>Teaching<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>EE 365 An Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS)<\/li>\n<li>EE 505 Geographic Information Systems (GIS)<\/li>\n<li>EE 805 Spatial Analysis Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":15047,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/earth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/13752"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/earth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/earth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/earth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15047"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/earth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/13752\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21503,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/earth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/13752\/revisions\/21503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/earth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
