I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Spatial Statistics and Geo-information Integration, specializing in the analysis, processing, and production of spatial data. My profile combines a robust foundation in statistics and mathematics with extensive practical experience in geospatial applications. My research interests primarily focus on applying spatial data science and geoinformatics to address medical and epidemiological challenges. The key fields of application I work in include spatial epidemiology, spatio-temporal modeling, biostatistics, and medical geography. My expertise extends to advanced statistical analysis, geospatial data processing, machine learning techniques, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Additionally, I have valuable experience in related areas such as software development, remote sensing, and demographic analysis.
