Bio/Research
I am a theoretical ecologist interested in population and community dynamics.
Research in my lab is primarily on infectious diseases whose population dynamics are environmentally driven. We explore for example the impact of climate variability and climate change on water-borne and vector-borne infections such as cholera and malaria. We are interested in combining mathematical models and computational statistical methods to analyze the temporal and spatial variability of infectious diseases and to assess their predictability, based on extensive but incomplete and noisy data. We are also addressing the spatio-temporal dynamics of infectious diseases in large cities of the developing world, asking questions about the interaction of environmental and socio-economic drivers, including responses to climate forcing.
