Comments:
Students come from Undergraduate,
Graduate, Postgraduate
and Adult Education
(BS, MS, Md.) and disciplines: Medicine (Lille II, Nice Sophia
Antipolis), Health and Law (Lille II), History and Geography (Grenoble
II, Arras, Paris X, Paris XII), Computing Sciences (Lille II),

Research Interests
Spatial modeling in health planning management
Medical geography, geographical epidemiology and assessment
of health risks.
Medical Informatics: e-Atlas of health.
Environmental health and human exposure analysis.
Quantitative methodologies and complex systems
(Multi-agents systems simulation.)
Comments: I’d
be seeking to improve my skills, particularly as concerns mathematical
aspects, as well as seeking to innovate in geographic automation
systems and software (Multi-Agent Systems and Agent-Based Model and
Simulation) as applied to chronic and/or infectious urban and non-urban
diseases (epidemiological process diseases and management).
Current studies and research projects
POLESAT:
A first prototype of our geomatics platform has been placed under a
secured web server since October 2008. You can visit our e-Atlas of
health, demo version 2 from https://194.254.117.103/e-atlas-MCCSIS/

A hematology study
in geo-epidemiology concerning Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) is
ending. I have made different calculations of incidence and I have made
cluster analysis with different methods from SatScan Software. I have
also used MapInfo® for building new base maps and to obtain
geographic coordinates. A scientific paper writing is in progress.
I worked in July
09, on the automation of cluster to make active disease surveillance with
cluster mapping outputs.
I have just reproduced results from a methodological article written by
«Allyson M Abrams et al A SaTScan™ Macro Accessory
for
Cartography (SMAC) package implemented with SAS®
software.»
A Kawasaki geography study
had been carried out in 2008. Because the number of disease cases is
very low and there is no potential interest by hospital team on this
subject: it has been decided to stop the study.
A Hematology study
in geo-epidemiology concerning lymphoma will begin soon.
A rectification of the
classification program
in Fortran is in progress in order to use it with SAS®. The
collaboration is composed by Aziz Serradj (Associate Professor of
Strasbourg University).
