Research interests

I research and develop quantitative tools such as network theory to predict the spread and distribution of infectious diseases in human populations.

I am particularly interested in:

  • the impact of specific population structures on the consequences of disease spread
  • the design of effective and practical intervention strategies
  • the evolution that results from the interaction between host populations and pathogens, and the effect of this interaction on the epidemiology of the disease
