*New* CSDE Computational Demography Working Group (CDWG) Hosts Director of Henry Spatial Analysis (11/1/23)

Posted: 10/26/2023 ()

On November 1st from 3:30-4:30pm Dr. Nathanial Henry will join CSDE to discuss computational approaches to spatial analyses and dynamic visualizations for effective scientific communication. CDWG Will be Hybrid in Fall Quarter 2023. The discussion will take place in Raitt 223 (The Demography Lab) and on Zoom (register here). Dr. Henry has a decade of experience in applied spatial statistics and geospatial software development. He recently started a geographic consulting firm focused on health and urban sustainability. Previously, Nat has worked at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington and the Oxford Big Data Institute. He earned his doctoral degree from the University of Oxford, where he pioneered new spatial statistics techniques for health data. His collaborative efforts span various sectors, including academic institutions, NGOs, city governments, and advocacy organizations. His work has been featured in such prestigious publications as Nature and The Lancet and on the front pages of The New York Times and The Seattle Times.

The Computational Demography Working Group (CDWG) at the University of Washington meets weekly to provide an interdisciplinary forum for discussions of digital and computational approaches to demographic research. The workshop features a range of paper presentations, methods demonstrations, software tutorials and professional development. The CDWG is sponsored by the Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology (CSDE), the eScience Institute and OBSSR T32 Grant #1T32HD101442-01. We welcome anyone with interest in computational demography (broadly defined).
