In Sept 2020 I started as a 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.
The primary team objectives for the 21/22 academic year include; (1) complete the opening of my wet lab, (2) continue developing new methods to collect, process, and analyze sewage samples for wastewater based epidemiology related to SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens, (3) publish work on viral interference, WBE & SARS-CoV-2, vampire bat rabies spatial spread and control, the impact of VZV vaccinations, and (4) continue an array of projects with undergraduate and Masters students on collecting and interpreting historical infectious disease data. Most of my effort here has been focused on WBE - please check out our live dashboard for live results or my WBE research page which has general updates. Please contact me if you're interested in joining the group.
