Samuel J. Clark

This researcher works on measuring death and its causes in low- and middle-income settings, especially using 'verbal autopsy' methods (interviews with families used to estimate cause of death when medical records are unavailable) and long-term population surveillance data from rural South Africa and Malawi. Related work covers household structure, mortality patterns linked to HIV and blood pressure, and statistical/Bayesian modeling tools for demographic data. Some recent publications also touch on transport equity and mobility experiences in African cities, suggesting a secondary interest in social and infrastructural aspects of daily life in these regions.

Publication output was fairly steady at 8-12 papers per year from 2017-2021 but has slowed to roughly 6-8 papers per year from 2022-2025.
