Bio

I am a research scientist in the field of mathematical epidemiology. I develop and construct simulation models of infectious disease dynamics to assist with policy decision making. My current focus is on understanding how host travel patterns contribute to epidemiological patterns: how does routine commuting or infrequent long-distance travel drive and sustain outbreaks of infectious disease? I am currently working to develop data sets which will allow epidemiologists access to quantitative estimates of how travel contributes to contact and mixing across geographical space.
