Kevin BakkerKevin is interested in infectious disease transmission across temporal and spatial scales with a focus on seasonality. He recently (2017) completed his Ph.D. and is currently a postdoctoral researcher with Dr. Daniel Streicker at the University of Glasgow working on evaluating the impacts of various rabies control strategies in vampire bats across Latin America. He was recently awarded a 3-year NIH fellowship, which begins in May 2018 at the University of Michigan, to infer the mechanisms driving historical poliovirus transmission seasonality with modern applications toward monitoring the re-emergence of wild poliovirus and vaccine derived poliovirus following eradication.

Alyah ChmielAlyah is currently a senior at the University of Michigan’s College of Pharmacy with a strong interest in chemistry. She hopes to obtain her Ph.D. in organic chemistry to become a medicinal chemist and conduct research in the pharmaceutical industry. By conducting research with Kevin, she hopes to expand her knowledge of infectious diseases, and learn more about their modes of transmission and seasonality. In her free time, she loves to run outside through the Arboretum and enjoy all of the amazing restaurants Ann Arbor has to offer.
Alyah has worked in the lab since 2016, working on projects that investigated the epidemiology of smallpox in the 20th century for her independent study and is currently working on OCR digitization. |

Logan AustinLogan is a fourth-year undergraduate student at U-M majoring in Cell and Molecular Biology. Besides hanging out with Charlie Brown at the movies, he enjoys sports and particularly Michigan football. He is passionate about helping people, especially kids, and is interested in pediatric oncology and epidemiology. He is looking to attain a B.S. in Cell and Molecular Biology and go on to attend medical school, specializing in pediatrics.
Logan worked on understanding why dengue, dengue hemorrhagic fever, and dengue shock syndrome all had an increasing mean age of infection over the last decade and is currently working on OCR digitization. |
