Work

I am a biologist at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in the Division of Vector-Borne Diseases. I moved from the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health in Baltimore to the CDC Dengue Branch in San Juan, Puerto Rico just over 5 years ago to work on my doctoral research which I finished in 2008. My background is fairly broad both in terms of subject matter and geography, but my focus now is on statistical and mathematical models of vector-borne diseases, mainly arboviruses such as dengue, West Nile, and yellow fever. This work has involved longitudinal data analysis, Bayesian statistics, multi-level models, wavelet analysis, geospatial statistics, branching processes, and metapopulation models. I end up doing a lot of programming along the way, mostly in R and Java.


Play

While I enjoy my work I also enjoy many other activities, mostly outdoors with friends. At this time and place that includes biking, triathlons, surfing, stand up paddling, scuba diving, and lion fish hunting.
