Projects involving primary data collection:
Demography and Population Health Training and Research Project
Since the summer of 2015, I have been a co-investigator in a project to obtain demographic and health data on four slum communities that border the GHESKIO clinic (http://www.gheskio.org/wp/). The initial pilot survey is currently underway. The survey contains questions on household demographic composition, migration history, mortality, anthropometry, and infectious and non-communicable diseases.

Rural Electrification: Health and Welfare
Together with Professor Jason Kerwin of Applied Economics, I am partnering with Earthspark International to measure the health and economic impacts of reliable access to electricity.
Earthspark is an organization that provides electric power to rural communities in Haiti. Earthspark’s microgrids bring entire communities reliable power that suffices to run businesses and operate appliances, and which operate without blackouts or brownouts.
