Aaron Osgood-Zimmerman serves as Assistant Professor of Statistics at Bucknell University's College of Arts and Sciences, based in Olin Science Building with contact email aeoz001@bucknell.edu.
His academic credentials include:
- Ph.D. in Statistics, University of Washington
- M.S. in Statistics, University of Washington
- B.A. in Mathematics and B.S. in Engineering, Swarthmore College
Specializing in spatial and spatiotemporal statistical modeling, his research bridges climate science and global public health. At the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), he developed methodologies for mapping health burdens including child malnutrition in Africa, anemia prevalence in women, and cancer incidence across Europe. Current work focuses on climate-health interactions, specifically how environmental changes drive geographically variable health outcomes and disproportionately impact vulnerable communities. His approach integrates theoretical statistical innovation with practical policy applications.
Publication analysis reveals consistent application of advanced spatial modeling to critical global health challenges, particularly in resource-limited settings. His high-impact work in Nature and Nature Medicine demonstrates expertise in translating complex statistical frameworks into actionable public health insights for low- and middle-income countries.
During his five-year tenure at IHME, he contributed to large-scale collaborative initiatives including the Local Burden of Disease Child Growth Failure Collaborators. Teaching philosophy emphasizes data literacy, inclusive pedagogy, and real-world statistical application across diverse learner backgrounds.
