Hallo! Salut! ⴰⵣⵓⵍ! ¡Hola! Olá! أهلاً
Welcome to my personal website and project portfolio! I am Sami El Sabri, a public health analyst, epidemiologist, and data scientist. Currently, I am a Clarendon Scholar at the University of Oxford completing an MSc in Global Health Science & Epidemiology.
My work sits at the intersection of health equity, climate change, and migration. I specialize in turning complex, messy data into equitable, evidence-based decisions using R, Python, and GIS. Having lived across three continents and traveled to 60 countries, I bring a global, multilingual perspective to local challenges.
Here you find a curated collection of my endeavours across quantitative applications, interdisciplinary collaborations, community service, and enriching travel experiences. Thanks for visiting, I hope you enjoy!
As you may have noticed, I love maps. Each map I create or draw is a moment of reflection: on the lines that divide us, on the sheer luck of where one is born, and on the beauty that lies in the diversity across those pencil strokes. As amazing as maps are, they are a stark reminder of the arbitrariness of global inequality.
Growing up as an immigrant in Germany, trekking to Costa Rica at 16, and now calling one of Earth’s most diverse cities home, I have lived these contrasts. Crossing these borders is where my insatiable curiosity about the world stems from, and what motivates me every day to learn even more languages, travel to even more places, and connect with even more people.
