Research

research overview

  • I develop mathematical models and computational tools to help anticipate, manage, and recover from infectious disease outbreaks. I study the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases across scales, from within-host to community-level to global transmission dynamics. I also study how infectious diseases intersect with the educational, health, food system, and economic sectors.
