Research
I study the ecology and evolution of infectious disease in animal and human populations, with emphasis on:
- Disease emergence, invasion and persistence
- How these are impacted by population heterogeneities
By combining field data with quantitative methods such as mathematical modelling and statistical analysis, I aim to:
- Deepen our knowledge of fundamental principles of disease ecology
- Apply those principles to understand observed patterns and design effective control policies.
