Miriam L King

Miriam L King serves as a Research Professional at the Institute for Social Research & Data Innovation and Minnesota Population Center, University of Minnesota. Her work centers on large-scale demographic and health survey data integration across global contexts.

Her research interests focus on population health science and survey methodology, with specialization in Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), IPUMS microdata systems, and cross-national health indicator development. Key areas include child health metrics, reproductive calendar analysis, intimate partner violence measurement, and environmental health linkages through census data integration.

Analysis of her publication trends reveals strong emphasis on data harmonization across international surveys, development of standardized metrics for vulnerable populations, and methodological innovations in handling microdata. Her work consistently bridges demographic techniques with public health applications, particularly in low-resource settings.

King actively collaborates on major NIH and NSF-funded projects including the Integrated International Microdata Series and environmental health research initiatives using agricultural census data. Her grant portfolio demonstrates sustained funding for population health infrastructure development.

Her laboratory work involves the Minnesota Population Center's data infrastructure teams, focusing on IPUMS systems development and survey data curation. Current projects emphasize creating interoperable global datasets for child health research and environmental exposure analysis.
