Ells is a PhD Candidate at the Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics at Penn State (Salathé Group). In August, he'll begin work as an ORISE Fellow at the CDC in Atlanta, GA.

Past & Present Research

  • Digital epidemiology [1]
  • evolution of antibiotic resistance and optimal antibiotic-use strategies [2]
  • public health impacts of health behaviors that spread from person-to-person (social contagion) [3]
