I am an evolutionary biologist and infectious disease epidemiologist with a focus on using genomic data to better understand the dynamics of human pathogens. Broadly speaking, I am interested in identifying novel data signatures in pathogen genomic data and developing quantitative analytical methods to generate epidemiological and evolutionary insights from those signals. My work spans biological scales, from within-host pathogen evolution to pathogen dynamics on the host population scale. I have a particular interest in analyses that link these scales, e.g. through the transmission bottleneck.
