Hired as a member of the research data team to analyze, visualize, and perform statistical and spatial analyses, in R, Sql, Psql, and Arcmap, on complex air pollution data sets from various cohorts of participants around the United States and manage and develop databases. Key projects include:Building a brand new national road network system for our database from OSM and Tigerline data to replace and remain consistent with the characteristics of the year 2000 national road network currently being used. Required manipulation of spatial objects in R as well as searching the internet for public road datasets.Constructing a new covariate to analyze participant addresses based on their distance from greenspaces to be used in air pollution research projects. Researched public green space datasets and built a national greenspace map using census data and spatial packages in R. Analyzing researchers’ collected air pollution data and research participant information to create air pollution predictions at various locations and times points as well creating usable and reproducible results from inconsistent and incomplete datasets.
