Research Interests
My research interests lie at the interface of mathematics and biology, with a focus on bridging the gap between immunology and epidemiology (Immuno-epidemiological modeling). Other research interests are modeling and management strategies (optimal control) for the control of invasive species, and for the spread of water-borne, respiratory, and vector-borne diseases.
