Hi! I’m Juliana.
I’m a third-year PhD student in Biology in the Bansal Lab at Georgetown University. My research explores the interplay between behavior and infectious disease, with a focus on how contact patterns vary across space, time, transmission modes, and disease states.
I’m also an NSF Graduate Research Fellow and a member of the MIDAS Trainee Network Executive Committee. I graduated from Bowdoin College in 2021 where I studied math and biology. In 2019, I participated in an REU at the University of Georgia which sparked my interest in disease ecology. My full CV is available here.
Outside the lab, I enjoy experimenting with new recipes, playing ice hockey, and biking along the Potomac.
Please reach out if you would like to collaborate or have questions about my work!
