Dr. Bedilu is an Associate Professor of Statistics at Addis Ababa University. His research focuses on developing innovative spatial data analytics methods and applying them in public health data. He introduced a novel geostatistical modelling framework for non-stationary patterns in disease risk and developed a test statistic for measuring spatio-environmental autocorrelation. His work turns DHS, MIS, PMA and WHO STEPS data into small area estimates that guide malaria, nutrition and family planning programs.
He is a lead author of 15+ peer-reviewed articles; PI or Co-PI on four funded projects and Sub-Saharan Africa Consortium for Advanced Biostatistics (SSACAB) senior research fellow. At KYDA, he leads the firm and oversees the quality of every project it delivers.
