My core expertise is in measurement methodology, survey & experimental design, impact evaluation (causal inference), and advanced statistics & machine learning (supervised and unsupervised). The services I provide range from one-off data analyses to project management (from design to completion).

In addition to written reports, I employ tools that go beyond words and allow communicating data-driven insights in impactful ways. These include creative approaches to examining and presenting data (see illustrative examples, below):

Data Sonification

This project translated data on casualties of global terror attacks in 2000 and 2001 into an orchestral piece for a 9/11 remembrance event. Data wrangling, cleaning, and transformation into a sonification-friendly format was done programmatically (implemented in R). The music was generated and touched up by the electronic artist Giorgio Volkert (implemented in Java Script). Have a listen and see if you can recognize 9/11...

Data Visualization

This project visualized all suicide attacks of the last 4 decades (implemented in R). See if you can spot the drastic changes in location and frequency of attacks that reflect global events (e.g., US invasion of Iraq). For a better viewing experience, watch on Twitter.

Web Apps

As a response to requests for alterations to my earlier visualization, I created and deployed a dashboard (implemented in R and Shiny) that allows users to quickly visualizations of the global terrorism database, according to their needs (e.g., years, type of attacks, color scheme).

Traditional Reports

This is an report on an international impact evaluation of educational programming that I led for Big Bad Boo Studios.
