Hi!

I’m Andreas Varotsis, a data scientist and public safety researcher working to improve the use of data and evidence in government.I try to use an empirical approach and multi-disciplinary, quantitative tools to understand, diagnose, and build solutions for critical problems around public cohesion, society and public safety.

I also enjoy coordinating exciting communities, and working with fantastic institutions to build projects that improve the world.

My particular areas of interest are:

  • data-science and machine learning
  • crime and police activity in physical space
  • econometrics and economic modelling
  • experimental and quasi-experimental testing
  • rapid technological solutions and innovation

I use this site to showcase my recent work, and discuss new data-science and statistical tools and techniques on my blog.

If you’d like to chat, hear more, or absolutely anything else, on Matrix or by email.
