Professional Training and experience

  • PhD, Epidemiology, University of California, Davis
  • Master of Preventive Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis
  • VMD, Food Animal Medicine, University of Pennsylvania
  • BS, Animal Bioscience, Penn State University

Research Interests

  • Infectious disease modeling
  • International disease surveillance and control
  • Expert opinion data and Bayesian statistics


Research Summary

My research focuses on applications of Bayesian statistics and mathematical modeling in the field of transboundary animal diseases.

Areas of specific interest include:

    evaluation and judicious use of expert opinion to supplement objective data
    exploration into human political, social and economic factors that contribute to disease spread and control
    identifying genetic variations in viral populations that may be selected for and prevented by animal management practices
