My research program focuses on the intersection of mathematics, statistics, evolution and epidemiology to understand and predict the dynamics of infectious diseases. I am probably most known for my work on the COVID-19 pandemic, my contributions to genomic epidemiology and phylogenetics, and my work on modelling the dynamics and evolution of pathogen populations. My research program is rooted in applied mathematics and statistics, and is highly interdisciplinary, spanning mathematics, statistics, evolution and infectious disease. I am committed to providing high-quality interdisciplinary training for all students and postdoctoral researchers in my group.
