Bio

Currently involved as a postdoctoral researcher in a NIH (specifically the National Library of Medicine, Bioinformatics Group) funded project to develop methods for the Bayesian tracking of emerging epidemics as they move across the globe adapting a family of Data Assimilation methods known as "Ensemble Kalman Filters" (EnKF) to extend these methods to spatial epidemiology.
