Second Meeting of the DS-I Africa Consortium
29 October -2 November 2022

Recorded sessions

  • Mr Craig Parker (Participant)

    Using cutting-edge research and machine learning techniques, I am currently working as a data scientist with outstanding people on issues that are really important to me: protecting our planet and reducing the effects of climate change on health.
    At Wits RHI, I am employed by the climate and health directorate. I work in this unit's HEAT center, where we are examining how to map health and climate data using machine learning to better understand how the two relate in an African context and to guide future adaptation and mitigation efforts.
    In my previous positions, I focused on helping organizations with operational and transformational initiatives and projects. In these positions, I honed abilities including facilitation, data analysis, data visualization, computational programming, and database management.
    I also love to run, play soccer and be with my family.
