Current Projects

It can take a while for a project to reach the stage where it is ready for presentation or publication – so here’s a snapshot of what I’m working on right now.

• Disentangling aerosol and droplet respiratory disease transmission routes
  • Using outbreak reports, laboratory transmission experiments, and contact data, I am characterizing how contact structure varies across different pathogen transmission modes and the implications of this variation for disease dynamics.
• Quantifying the social and disease effects of hygienic behaviors across species & scales
  • I am integrating data from experimental and observational studies of hygienic behaviors into animal social contact networks to understand how these behavior changes alter social structure and disease dynamics across animal species.
