ATLAS
From Göttingen to the world
Scientific research often relies on collaboration, bringing together different perspectives, expertise, and approaches across disciplines and institutions. These collaborations can take many forms, from small teams working closely together to large international research consortia. I created this atlas to make these connections visible and to explore the geographical reach of the research I contribute to. Each dot represents a researcher I have shared at least one publication with, from close collaborators to fellow authors in large international consortia. Together, they offer a glimpse into the international nature of scientific research and the people behind it.
Each dot represents a collaborator, colored by the area of our shared research project/s. Larger dots indicate more collaborations, with adjustments for large consortium publications. Click a person to explore our shared work.
The atlas was created using publicly available information from research manuscripts and publications I have co-authored. I developed a data-processing pipeline to extract and organize author names, institutional affiliations, and shared publications, bringing these records together into an interactive geographical visualization. Researchers are mapped according to their reported institutional affiliations, which may not reflect their current location.
All information displayed in this atlas comes from publicly available research publications and associated author information. No private or unpublished personal information was included. Because much of the information was processed automatically, errors in names, affiliations, locations, or publication counts may occur. If you appear in the atlas and would prefer not to be included, or if you notice any inaccuracies, please contact me. I am happy to correct or remove your entry.
I value the opportunity to work with researchers from different countries, cultures, and academic backgrounds. For me, international collaboration is an important part of understanding health and inequality beyond individual populations or national borders. However, appearing in this atlas should not be interpreted as an endorsement of an individual’s personal views, political positions, research practices, or the policies of their country or institution. Particularly in large international consortia, co-authorship does not necessarily imply direct personal collaboration: I may not have met, worked directly with, or independently assessed every listed co-author. The atlas is intended to illustrate the geographical reach of my research connections, not to certify or endorse the individuals or institutions represented.
