My research interests span the areas of exposure assessment, wastewater surveillance, pathogen shedding kinetics, and infectious disease transmission. A common thread in my research is in understanding the human-environment interface with respect to infectious diseases. I design, develop, and evaluate statistical and mathematical models to support evidence-informed public health decision-making in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and the United States. These model frameworks were packaged as open-source tools and deployed across the globe. Over the last decade, I have been involved in projects funded by NIH, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Wellcome Trust, and the Rockefeller Foundation, on the aforementioned research areas for various infectious diseases. Half of these projects were in LMICs, where I have developed strong relationships with local partners. I enjoy working on team science (cross-disciplinary collaborations from diverse scientific fields) and contribute my analytical skills as a toolbox for real-world problems.
