Biography

I’m an applied mathematician and computational biologist who uses math to study how diseases spread through real people, real cities, and real social systems. My work sits at the intersection of mathematics, epidemiology, and public health, where I build models that combine differential equations, data, and simulation to better understand infectious disease dynamics. I’m currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Rutgers School of Public Health, working on modeling frameworks both within-host and at the population level. I’m a longtime teacher and a big believer that math should be useful, intuitive, and accessible. I love what I do because it allows me to use mathematics as a lense through which I can learn about so many other interesting and important fields. The list of things that I do not love about what I do is short: wrestling with LaTeX formatting.

You will most likely find me hanging out with all of my dog friends (and Rachel), reading, or selling vegetables!
