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. Contact
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]
- Optimal vaccination strategies when susceptibility is clustered on a network
- Infectious disease management by improved ventilation when increased vaccination coverage is not feasible
Academic Interests
- Open Source & Open-Access without exception (GitHub)
- Leveraging interactive media for scientific outreach and citizen science
Education
- BS in Human Biology from UC San Diego in 2009
- MS in Biology from UC San Diego in 2011
- PhD ongoing at Penn State / CDC (expected 2016)
CSSS
My interests are extremely broad so I'm open to anything but partial to infectious disease dynamics. Like all of you I am here to explore, network, cultivate new skills, and step outside my comfort zone. I've listed topics & skills that might be relevant to CSSS projects.
- Infectious disease dynamics
- Evolutionary theory w/ specific experience in antibiotic resistance tradeoffs
- Social contagion processes (simple, complex & dynamic adoption)
- Network construction, manipulation and analysis
- Agent-based simulations in Java & Python
- Mass Action PopGen models in MatLab
- Data Visualization in D3.js, Gephi & ggplot2
- Data Analysis via Python & R w/ exposure to PostgreSQL
- Web Development in Ruby on Rails, Javascript & CSS
Hobbies
- Video games (more than I'd like to admit)
- steam: ellscubed
- GeoPolitics
- Hiking/Camping (when whether permits)
- Poker (Texas Hold'em)
- Billiards (8-ball & 9-ball)
- Trees & Pineapples and such
