I study the interaction between human behavior and infectious disease transmission using mathematical and computational models. My current projects focus on water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) intervention compliance for waterborne and fomite-mediated diseases.
Under Marisa Eisenberg, my dissertation applied game theory and decision theory to disease transmission and control including prophylaxis use during STI outbreaks, burial practices during the 2014 Ebola outbreak, and compliance with household water treatment interventions. I've also worked on HIV transmission and numerical methods for identifiability analysis.
