Research Statement: My work integrates spatial analysis and agent-based modeling to examine the evolving dynamics of healthcare accessibility and socioeconomic change. By combining GIScience, autonomous spatial agents, and medical geography, I seek to develop data-driven frameworks that advance equitable healthcare access and inform evidence-based resource allocation. Leveraging computational models such as SIRS and advanced geospatial analytics, I evaluate spatial accessibility to care and identify system-level inefficiencies, and model how individual-level behaviors influence equitable access. Through autonomous spatial modeling, my research uncovers hidden patterns in health-seeking behavior, offering insights that can guide more just and resilient health‑system planning.
