“I’m interested in understanding what drives vector-borne virus transition between endemic and epidemic transmission cycles, including virus evolution, ecology, epidemiology, and pathogenesis. I hope to focus on arboviruses endemic to North America, and the ways eco-epidemiological change has shaped disease burdens in these largely understudied viruses.”
