Affiliate Investigator

2020 - 2022
Statistics Canada

Microsimulation Analyst

  • Position was within the Health Analysis Division.
  • Developed a Shiny app that enables users to slice and visualize preliminary COVID-19 data in Canada by a number of different variables.
  • Contributor to the EpiSim R package, which enables users to build multi-compartment models (ODE or CTMC) via an Excel workbook that specifies the model structure and age stratification. EpiSim has tools for sensitivity analyses and visualization of model results.
  • Developed the Data Dictionary Builder Shiny app that links meta data for surveys at Statistics Canada. Users can build a searchable, filterable data dictionary and match variables on labels and response options across all cycles of a given survey. There is also a data download feature for users with authorized access to the survey microdata.
  • Modeled the COVID-19 pandemic weekly in nine Canadian provinces.
  • Developed new features and updated parameters in the Population Health (POHEM) microsimulation model.
