Applying Geospatial Data Science Techniques in Urban and Health Research

Talk_0806

Speaker

Prof. Xiaobai Angela Yao

Summary

Stemming from several related scientific fields, geospatial data science has rapidly increased its popularity in a wide range of application areas. Focusing on the role of geospatial data science in urban and health research areas, this talk will share two research projects that apply traditional geospatial techniques or newly developed methods to address urban and health research questions. In the urban research project, we collect and model social media data (Facebook data) to help understand human interactions in the virtual and physical spaces by constructing and analyzing social-spatial networks. In the health research, we apply GIS data processing techniques and Bayesian spatiotemporal modeling to investigate health disparity in female breast cancer survival rates.
