Research interests

Developing approaches to map population distributions, demographics and dynamics through complementing traditional datasources (census, survey, registries) with new forms of geospatial data from e.g. satellite imagery and mobile devices.
Understanding the drivers of small area heterogeneities in population health and development in low and middle income settings.
The use of high resolution demographic and mobility data for improving understanding and modelling of pathogen dynamics.

WorldPop

We develop and implement open, robust and peer-reviewed geospatial methods. These are used for mapping population distributions, demographics and dynamics, with a principle focus on low and middle income countries.
