Brief Biography
Aleksander Berg is a PhD student in Geography and a graduate research assistant at the Institute of Behavioral Science at the University of Colorado Boulder. Overarchingly, Berg’s research focuses on how to use big data at fine grained scales to answer questions about natural hazards, health, and population dynamics to better inform decision making in and for those communities. His current work pushes these pathways further through the development of data products and methodologies that apply these data to deepen our understanding of how people and the environment interact across scales.
