Academic Interests
I began as a PhD student at CEES in May 2016. As part of MedPlag project, I am using disease models to reconstruct the spread of plague across Eurasia in historic times. My work is supervised by Boris V. Schmid and Nils Chr. Stenseth.
I am interested in infectious disease epidemiology and modeling, specifically for zoonotic diseases. Previously, I was a masters student and research assistant at CEES using susceptible-infectious-recovered (SIR) models to study mechanisms of plague transmission in cities. I hold a BA from New College of Florida, USA, where I studied primate feeding ecology in South Africa for my honors thesis. I was also awarded a Fulbright research grant to study giraffe in Etosha National Park, Namibia.
