Kieran Shah
MPH
Senior Data Scientist, GEMINI
My role with the GEMINI team:
In my current role as a Data Scientist with GEMINI, I am hoping to help improve the data pipelines from when GEMINI receives raw data to getting the data into our databases.
My educational background:
I completed a Master's of Public Health at Boston University in Biostatistics. For my thesis, I was able to work with the National Emergency Data Set and used both supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques to better understand factors that affect emergency department length of stays.
My past experience and accomplishments:
Prior to joining GEMINI, I worked as a Statistician at the University of Guelph. I helped develop a forecast model to help future budgeting and enrolment planning at the University. I also worked with student services to develop models to help better understand student success.
Before I worked at the University of Guelph, I worked with Abt Associated in Boston. There, I helped construct research-ready datasets for the Department of Justice, and conducted analysis on Medicaid data to better understand access to mental health services.
I feel most inspired when:
I'm working with great and friendly colleagues.
A few of my favourite things are:
-
Playing soccer (before the pandemic)
-
Running after my kids
