Senior Fellows

We select Senior Fellows on the basis of their participation in S4 events, their assistance in training and workshop activities, and their expertise and commitment to high quality spatially informed research.

Occasionally S4 will select a doctoral student to serve for a year as a Senior Fellow in recognition of their contribution to GIS training, research, and outreach. We select Senior Fellows on the basis of their participation in S4 events, their assistance in training and workshop activities, and their expertise and commitment to high quality spatially informed research. S4 relies heavily on networking and consulting relationships among our students, and designation as a Senior Fellow is an acknowledgement of the key role that our most active students play in the program.

    Joe Silva is a second-year Ph.D. student in Health Services Research. He holds a B.S. in medical laboratory sciences from the University of Rhode Island and an Sc.M. in Epidemiology from Brown University. Joe's research interests focus on the intersection between infectious disease epidemiology and geographic health disparities. Recently, Joe has published research estimating risk-standardized influenza vaccination rates among US nursing home residents at the county level. He is currently working to expand on this work through innovative methodological advances to accurately identify geographic disparities in vaccination.
