Research interests
I am a disease ecologist and epidemiologist at the School of Life Sciences and Zeeman Institute for infectious disease epidemiology. I am also a fellow in Warwick's Institute for Global Sustainable Development.
My lab's research aims to understand the drivers, spread, and consequences of infectious disease. Many of our projects are motivated by conservation or wildlife/livestock health applications. For example, understanding how human-driven changes to the environment influence wildlife disease or the risk of zoonotic (animal-origin) disease outbreaks?
Our research integrates theory and data to understand disease ecology questions. We aim to understand how host-parasite or species interactions scale-up to inform population, community, and ecosystem-level patterns. We believe both epidemiology and ecology are improved by theory in all its forms: from conceptual to mathematical models. Models help clarify our assumptions and identify the essential mechanisms in often complex systems.
We are a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary group. Solutions to global challenges require a multidisciplinary approach, and as a result, our collaborators include veterinarians, mathematicians, statisticians, molecular biologists, and social scientists.
