Research Interests
I am interested in applying discrete mathematical models to biology with a specific focus on ecology and disease modeling. I am specifically interested in studying the ecological effects of intrinsic factors (such as evolution of traits, delay, and underlying time structure) and extrinsic factors (such as environmental fluctuations, harvest, and habitat loss). In an epidemic setting, the corresponding interests relate to the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic factors on the development of a pandemic and recovery of such.
