Welcome to Becker Consulting Services!
My name is Doug Becker, and I offer a range of data, analytical, and research services, ranging from the basic to the most advanced techniques. If you or your organization need assistance finding, structuring, cleaning, and analyzing data, you've come to the right place.
To find out more about me, my experience, and my skillsets, please check out the About Me page on this site. To give you a quick rundown, though; I have a MS in Environmental Sciences and Engineering from the University of North Carolina and a PhD in Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences from the University of Illinois. I also did two postdoctoral research fellowships, one at a university and one at a nonprofit organization. My research has focused on environmental health, specifically how air quality, climate change, and natural spaces influence human health and downstream effects like healthcare costs.
So, while my expertise is in the environmental and conservation fields, I possess a wide array of analytical skills. I work mostly in the R programming language and with the QGIS and ArcMap GIS programs, performing regular as well as geospatial statistical analyses.
I'm in business to make a living, not a killing. I am happy to work with your company, institute, or organization to find a reasonable service fee that works for everyone. I also offer discounts to nonprofit or nongovernment entities.
