Important discussions at the #MITSAlliance summit in Nairobi on the potential of MITS (Minimally Invasive Tissue Sampling) for understanding cause-of-death at individual and population level. Shared our work on using MITS to calibrate verbal autopsies.🌍📊 RTI International #GlobalHealth


It was great to participate in the Johns Hopkins Gupta-Klinsky India Institute (GKII) panel on AI for Climate and Health in India yesterday at the #555Penn building in DC. 🌍💡Insightful and diverse perspectives shared on the opportunities and challenges of AI in shaping climate and health research and policy. 🌿🤝


Visiting Cornell Statistics and Data Science today for a seminar. Looking forward to speaking about machine learning for spatially dependent data by incorporating data covariances into the algorithms. stat.cornell.edu/events/statist…

Looking forward to visiting Yale Biostatistics Yale Biostatistics today. Giving a seminar on model-free generalized Bayes for compositional data and application to calibration of verbal autopsies for improving national cause-specific mortality estimates. ysph.yale.edu/event/ysph-bio…




Congratulations to Dr. Claire Heffernan, freshly minted PhD from jhubiostat ! 🥳🎉 Witnessing the completion of a PhD is always a moment to cherish as an academic, celebrating both the achievement and the journey.🎓


🚀 Excited to share new paper led by jhubiostat PhD student Wentao Zhang. We show the limitations of traditional neural networks for geospatial data and introduce a GNN that explicitly models spatial correlations. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… Software: pypi.org/project/geospa…



🚀 New paper with former jhubiostat student Claire Heffernan & @rdpeng Kirsten Koehler Gentner Lab Misti Levy Zamora, PhD Did the COVID-19 lockdowns affect air quality? We present a causal perspective using machine-learning based interrupted time series. academic.oup.com/aje/article-ab…



Congratulations to Elizabeth (Liz) Chin, Abhi Datta, Sandipan Pramanik, and Scott who were each part of teams who received an inaugural 2024 Data Science and AI Institute Demonstration Projects Award. Read more about their projects online: ai.jhu.edu/news/data-scie…


We first honor the eight recipients of the 2024 COPSS Emerging Leader Award! 👏 Congratulations to Abhi Datta, Anru Zhang, Bailey Fosdick, Daniele Durante, Jennifer Bobb, Sandra Safo, Shu Yang, and Zheng Tracy Ke!




New paper w/ former jhubiostat student Brian Gilbert! We introduce visGP—a visibility-graph-based Gaussian process for spatial analysis in non-convex domains. It preserves Euclidean covariances where valid while incorporating complex domain geometry. doi.org/10.1093/biomtc…

So proud and excited to see my former PhD advisee and jhubiostat alumnus Arkajyoti Saha join UC Irvine Statistics Department as an Assistant Professor! Wishing you continued success.
