 ning Program is to enhance the skills of Fellows in population data scienc
 e and computational population social science\, empowering them to make ev
 idence-based decisions in their respective areas of expertise. The alumni 
 participating in this session will reflect on their experiences with CAnD3
  and illustrate how they have applied the knowledge and skills gained from
  the program to foster data-driven decision-making in the academic\, priva

 an MA student in Sociology at the University of New Brunswick\, Fredericto
 n\, under the supervision of Dr. David Hofmann. Samuel’s research focuses 
 on radicalization and the manifestations of far-right extremism in North A
 merica and the Western world\, with the aim of contributing quantitative m
 ethods and analysis to the growing body of research on extremism in the ar
 med forces. His undergraduate Honours thesis\, also completed at UNB under
  the supervision of Dr. Hofman\, explored educational programs aimed at co
 untering and preventing youth radicalization. \n\n\nKhandideh Williams (sh
 e/her/hers)\n\n2023-2024 CAnD3 Alum\n\n\n\nKhandideh Williams is a PhD stu
 dent in the Family Medicine and Primary Care program at McGill University.
  She holds a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Microbiology and I
 mmunology. Committed to addressing racial disparities in health outcomes a
 nd healthcare experiences\, Khandideh successfully fast-tracked from her m
 aster’s program to the doctoral program in the winter 2022 semester. Her d
 octoral research seeks to investigate racial disparities and perceived ant
 i-Black racial discrimination in Canadian primary health care. Her endeavo
 urs also include the development of clinical strategy and health care poli
 cy recommendations towards improving the quality of health care experience
 s among Black communities and other racialized groups in Canada.\n\n\nMeri
 ta Limani (she/her/hers)\n\n2022-2023 CAnD3 Alum\n\n\n\nMerita Limani hold
 s a dual PhD in Sociology from the University of Western Ontario and in Po
 litical Science from St. Cyril & Methodius University. She was a CAnD3 Fel

 behaviors\, and the intersections of health\, aging\, and policy in Canada
  and globally. She also brings over a decade of professional experience in
  project management\, policy\, and international development\, having led 
 initiatives with the Council of Europe\, USAID\, and the Swiss Development

 national Max Planck Research School for Population\, Health and Data Scien
 ce (IMPRS-PHDS) in Germany and the Consortium on Analytics for Data-Driven
  Decision-Making (CAnD3) in Canada. Her research leverages Big Data source
 s\, such as SCOPUS\, Facebook\, and Twitter\, to investigate society’s dri
 vers of climate change adaptation\, older adults’ use of communication tec
 hnologies\, and migrants’ cultural integration. She applies a combination 
 of computer science techniques (including machine learning and metaheurist
 ics) with statistical and actuarial methods (such as generalized linear mo
 dels\, survival analysis\, and bootstrapping).\n
