Final Report of EPIC Project with Indicia Consulting

I oversaw the statistical and data science research for the EPIC research project for Indicia Consulting, which the California Energy Commission (California’s name for their department of energy) commissioned. After several years of work, we published this report describing the project.

Working on the project was amazing, and I am proud to have been a part of it. Thank you Susan Mazur-Stommen and Haley Gilbert in particular for organizing everything.

Applied Anthropology Conference Presentation: Integrating Anthropology and Data Science

On July 8th, 2021, I presented virtually at the Congress of Anthropologists and Ethnologists of Russia in Tomsk, Siberia, organized by Association of Anthropologists and Ethnologists of Russia. My talk was titled “Integrating Anthropology and Data Science,” which I presented as part of its subcommittee for applied and business anthropology. I discussed the unique opportunities integrating data science could provide anthropologists and potential strategies for how to integrate the two disciplines.

Here was my original abstract for the conference:
