As of Sept 2020, I started as an Assistant Research Scientist at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. I am broadly interested in the spatiotemporal population dynamics of infectious diseases, with a focus on immunization/mitigation strategies. I have 5 primary research areas for the upcoming academic year, including: (1) collecting data on, and analyzing, antibody response to COVID-19 exposure (and eventual vaccination) with Aubree Gordon, (2) collecting and analyzing wastewater with Krista Wigginton to understand SARS-CoV-2 dynamics in the environment and link those data to community burden, (3) wrap up my work understanding the mechanistic drivers of poliovirus transmission seasonality, (4) complete a vampire bat rabies spatial model with Daniel Streicker to estimate the impact of spreadable or semi-transmissible vaccines on rabies dynamics at the population level, and (5) continue an array of projects with undergraduate and Masters students on collecting and interpreting historical infectious disease data.
Please contact me if you're interested in joining the lab, there are multiple positions available. If you are a UMich Public Health Masters student interested in ILE research, I have dozens of projects available, however you need to contact me by May 1st at the end of your 1st year.
