Current Position: Associate Professor, Population Health & Disease Prevention, Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health, University of California-Irvine
Brief Bio: Dr. Parker has a courtesy appointment in Epidemiology & Biostatistics. He is also the director of GHREAT (Global Health Research, Education, and Translation), which is a global health initiative within the Program in Public Health. As a medical geographer and spatial epidemiologist, his largest research interests are in ecological and environmental drivers of infectious diseases; the roles of human movement or travel patterns on infectious diseases; and on the spatial impacts of interventions.
Penn State’s Demography Program: The demography program at Penn State has been an amazing thing for me in many ways. The skills I learned through the program have been applicable in a wide array of settings, regardless of whether I'm analyzing human populations, microbial populations, or even populations of populations. The network is amazing too. I'm frequently running into people that are somehow related to the program and/or have a lot of respect for the program. This opens a lot of doors.
