Expertise

Research Topic:

  • Infectious disease

I am broadly interested in spatially-enabled computational epidemiology of vector-borne and infectious diseases and applications of geospatial approaches for enhancing animal/public health.

Our current and prior research has identified important spatio-temporal patterns and spatial determinants for vector/water-borne zoonotic diseases from climatic, environmental, and socio-economic themes. Increasingly, my research strives to identify consistencies in complex meteorological variable associations with vector-borne diseases through the utilization of high-resolution ground-based and NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) datasets.

Spatially-enabled computational epidemiology of infectious diseases and applications of geospatial approaches for enhancing animal/public health are my research interests.

Our current and prior research in this area has identified important spatio-temporal patterns and spatial determinants for vector/water-borne zoonotic diseases from climatic, environmental, and socio-economic themes. Increasingly, my research strives to identify consistencies in complex meteorological (climate) variable associations with vector-borne diseases through the utilization of high resolution ground-based and NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) datasets.
