What she works on
Biomathematics and epidemiological forecasting
Turning case data into measurable forecasts that support decisions before an epidemic peaks.
Mathematical and compartmental modelling
SIR and SEIR frameworks that describe how infection moves between groups and test the effect of interventions.
Machine learning for infectious disease
Machine-learning applications for forecasting infectious disease and early outbreak detection.
Entomology and vector-borne diseases
Predictive modelling of insect-borne disease, from leishmaniasis to Rift Valley fever.
Molecular biology and PCR
PCR, real-time PCR, DNA extraction and cell culture.
Epidemic intelligence from open sources
The WHO EIOS approach to spotting and assessing outbreak signals in open sources.
