In the News

My research sits at the intersection of social network analysis, demography, and statistics, and it has drawn coverage from local, regional, and national press. Much of that attention has focused on the network-based (respondent-driven sampling) method my collaborators and I developed with the King County Regional Homelessness Authority to more accurately count people experiencing unsheltered homelessness — work that has reshaped how the region conducts its federally mandated Point-in-Time count and informed conversations about homelessness policy well beyond Washington. Reporters have also covered my work on survey methodology, data science and AI in higher education, and the use of large-scale digital and administrative data to study populations that traditional surveys often miss. The pieces below are a selection of that coverage, most recent first.

“Because this method relies on using people's personal networks, it tends to do a very good job finding people that would otherwise be hard to reach using more typical survey methods.” — Zack W. Almquist, The Seattle Times
