'''Abstract'''

'''Abstract''' <br>

I am the head data scientist of Public Services and Procurement Canada’s new data science team — the Centre for Operational Research and Data Science (CORDS). We provide service to PSPC branches, dedicated to innovation with data, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and its application to better decision making. More than ever, Canadians and our governments expect that we reach our conclusions using reproducible, evidence based methods to improve the public good. Whether it’s understanding the demographics of our workforce, the effects of our decisions on the economically disadvantaged, or the performance of our services to other departments, we can only make progress with insight from our data. In this short talk, I will discuss how we have supported PSPC’s HR-to-Pay Program Office (HRPPO) for locating Phoenix pay system bottlenecks and performance issues along GBA+ dimensions. I will also discuss some of our recent work on COVID-19 during our partnership with the Public Health Agency of Canada. We contributed to the literature on seroprevalence of COVID-19 antibodies in the general population, and we recently published a stochastic propagation model in the Journal of Theoretical Biology on how the virus begins to spread during an outbreak with applications to federal workplaces.
