research summary

Basically, I'm interested in the dynamics of infectious disease spread. Mostly, I've worked with diseases affecting humans, but am currently exploring the dynamics of dengue virus in wild monkey populations in Senegal. I'm also involved in a project examining disease transmission in populations with different immunological landscapes.

Please see my curriculum vitae.
