Research Interests
I am interested in the ecology of infectious diseases, especially those that are zoonotic (transmitted from animals to humans) or involve pathogens that have transmission dynamics strongly influenced by environmental conditions. This type of research requires a wide variety of techniques ranging from basic field studies to molecular epidemiology. Ecologic modeling of these diseases is aided by computerized mapping with geographic information systems (GIS) and much of the data we analyze is acquired by remote sensors on earth-orbiting satellites.
