The questions that drive my research live at the intersection of the Global Health and the Life and Social Sciences. I prioritize the study of vector-borne infectious diseases, particularly their dynamics over multiple temporal and spatial scales, and across levels of organization. At center of my research, I explore the following:
- The impact of social behavioral changes on disease evolution
- The role of environmental and social structures on the dynamics of infection
- The identification of mechanisms that facilitate the spread of diseases across levels of organization over different scales
- The impact of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) on health disparities
My methodology includes population and environmental modeling approaches, computational and statistical methodology, and the tools developed over the past century in the fields of Mathematics, Epidemiology, and Health Economics.
