Research interests

Research in my lab is focused on the dynamics of ecological, epidemiological, and evolutionary systems. We develop and use sophisticated, model-based methods to understand biological systems, analyze data, and make predictions.  Our research foci include:

• the dynamics of host-pathogen systems including COVID-19, influenza, dengue, pertussis, cholera, measles, malaria, and trematodes,
• the dynamics of parasite infections within individual hosts,
• methods for assimilating genomic and epidemiologic data with models of pathogen transmission,
• the transmission and evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections in hospitals, and
• statistical inference methods for ecological, epidemiological, and immunological systems.
