Understanding how pathogen growth rate contributes to practical surveillance and control programs.
The Role of Speed in Disease Control and Detetection
Understanding how pathogen growth rate contributes to practical surveillance and control programs.
The controllability of infectious diseases has typically been framed around the basic reproduction number R0 and the proportion of infectious which occur prior to overt symptoms. We investigate instead the role that pathogen speed or intrinsic growth rate has on questions around surveillance and ultimately controllability.

Antimicrobial Resistance Dynamics
Understanding AMR dynamics and its impact on hospital-related outcomes
Work spans hierarchical models, probabilistic inference, and data-integration across surveillance streams. We emphasize workflow reproducibility, prior elicitation, and calibration for decision-making under uncertainty.
Spatial & Spatiotemporal Epidemiology
Risk mapping, mobility-aware transmission, and geospatial surveillance integration.
Spatial & Spatiotemporal Epidemiology
Risk mapping, mobility-aware transmission, and geospatial surveillance integration.
We build spatial and spatiotemporal models to quantify heterogeneity in risk, integrate mobility patterns, and combine geospatial data for practical surveillance and intervention planning.
