Summary
Dariya Ordanovich is a postdoctoral researcher with a PhD in Geography and a decade of experience at the nexus of climate change, population health, and geospatial data science. She combines advanced statistical and spatial methods to quantify how extreme weather—especially heat—affects mortality and vulnerable populations, working closely with national and regional statistical institutes to ensure robust, policy-relevant results. Her work spans big heterogeneous datasets from official registers to environmental monitoring, and she builds AI-driven image recognition tools to unlock historical Spanish census records for demographic research. Comfortable in both research and applied settings, she has experience integrating R into GIS platforms, NLP and social media analytics, and producing clear scientific visualizations that communicate complex findings. A former industry analyst and GIS specialist, she brings practical data engineering and visualization skills alongside academic rigor. Outside of research she documents environmental change through landscape photography, using visual storytelling to enrich regional case studies.
