Research

We work on the links between infectious diseases, environmental factors, and human behavior with a focus on movement and access to health care to understand the transmission and prevention of infectious diseases. Identifying the interactions that impact disease emergence, spread, and persistence allows us to develop interventions that directly target important underlying mechanistic processes, reducing and preventing infectious diseases.

We explore the emergence of novel diseases as well as the determinants and consequences of long-standing health inequities. We advance the field by integrating unconventional data sources to measure the processes underlying critical interactions in ecology, epidemiology, and behavior.
