Research Interest

As a veterinarian and epidemiologist trained in statistical and mathematical modeling, I bridge biomedical and mathematical disciplines in my research. The overarching goal of my computer lab is to advance One Health — the interconnected health of people, animals, plants, and their shared environment. My lab strives to improve lives through better health and food systems by developing sustainable data- and model-driven approaches for improving food safety, controlling infectious diseases, and optimizing food production systems.
