My main research interests are in developing methods and tools for nowcasting, forecasting, and real-time analysis of infectious diseases. In particular, I am interested in integrating non-traditional surveillance data streams, such as wastewater, into mechanistic, semi-mechanistic, and statistical modeling frameworks and evaluating the impact of both model design and input data sources on forecast performance. My interest in open source software development is driven by the desire to increase accessibility and reproducibility of these models for local health authorities and decision-makers, as well as to enable other researchers to extend these models and use them to answer novel scientific questions.
