Our group focuses on advancing the understanding and informing the control of infectious diseases through developing and applying mathematical and statistical methods. We work to develop cutting-edge statistical methods to refine how we estimate and predict disease transmission, address complex challenges like missing data and evolving pathogens; develop and apply mathematical and simulation models to understand the dynamics of disease spread. We focus primarily on healthcare-associated infections and emerging infectious diseases, however we have and continue to work on a wide variety of pathogens. By combining these approaches, we aim to provide comprehensive insights that enhance public health decision-making and improve strategies for controlling infectious diseases.
