From Open Data to Urban Impact: Data-Driven Research on Health, Safety, and Policy in New York City
Monday, March 23rd | 2:00 – 3:30 pm | Hybrid
| |
We invite you to attend this student research showcase highlighting how publicly available data from New York City, including NYC Open Data, can be used to study pressing issues in Public Health. Each student will deliver a presentation, demonstrating how modern statistical modeling, causal inference, machine learning, and geospatial analysis can be applied to large-scale real-world data to generate actionable insights for policymakers, Public Health professionals, and the general public. Together, these projects will demonstrate how open and public data sources can be leveraged to study Public Health issues and policy effectiveness at the neighborhood and citywide levels.
