In May 2022 I joined Merck as a Principal Scientist, working in the Health Economics and Decision Sciences division.  My work focuses on fitting mathematical models of infectious disease to data, and evaluating the impact of various vaccine policies for different countries.

Previously I was an Assistant Research Scientist at the University of Michigan School of Public Health.  My translational research combines field, lab, and computational components to identify and interpret the mechanisms responsible for the complex dynamics we observe in ecological and epidemiological systems. I am keenly interested in deciphering the population dynamics of infectious pathogens and I have multiple research aims to address these questions using an array of approaches.

Most of my academic research focused on WBE - please check out our dashboard  or my WBE research page which has general updates.

I am no longer accepting students.
