Fields of study
Theoretical Ecology; Disease Ecology
Research interests
I’m generally interested in theoretical ecology and population dynamics. Most of the research I have been involved in over the last few years has focused on modeling human diseases. Since coming to University of Michigan’s EEB program in 2001, I have been working with Mercedes Pascual on time series analyses of historical cholera records. In particular, my current research focuses on disentangling the roles of climatic forcing from intrinsic disease dynamics through the development of nonlinear statistical methods.
Academic background
I received a B.S. in Biology from Stanford University in 1997. I have also worked as a research assistant at UCSF for Sally Blower from 1998-1999.
