I am a theoretical/computational/mathematical/statistical disease modeller/analyst. I focus on human-related diseases (HIV, influenza) and some wildlife diseases (canine rabies), especially in forecasting epidemic outbreaks and retrospective analysis of the evolution of infectious diseases and intervention strategies and policies change for disease control. I work at the interface between statistics, disease ecology and mathematical epidemiology; developing new methods that appropriately account for uncertainties and link statistical summaries and estimates with meaningful ecological and epidemiological parameters; and analyzing the effect of policy change of disease control.
