Ayaz Hyder

Ayaz Hyder's research uses simulation modeling, spatial analysis, and community-engaged methods to study public health problems such as opioid overdose deaths, COVID-19 response, food access, and health equity. Much of the work focuses on building computational and geospatial tools to help communities and policymakers evaluate interventions like naloxone distribution, medication for opioid use disorder, and vaccine equity programs. Prospective students would likely engage with mixed-methods work combining data science, systems modeling, and community partnerships.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade with a peak around 2020 and 2022, but has remained relatively steady at roughly 4-5 papers per year in recent years.
