I am an applied mathematician with a particular interest in disease transmission models. My current research focuses on the transmission of helminth macroparasite species, and the distribution of helminths within a population as the population approaches elimination through interventions such as mass drug administration. I have worked on stochastic transmission models for schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis, and soil-transmitted helminthiasis, and am currently working to extend these models to include spatial structure.
