I am a Research Fellow at the Centre for Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases (CMMID), where I work with Dr. Kathleen O’Reilly on:
- Analyzing the utility of wastewater surveillance for routine monitoring of infectious diseases in South Africa
- Developing mathematical and statistical models to predict the risk of polio outbreaks in Africa
Previously, I was a Research Software Engineer with the Epiverse-TRACE Initiative, developing and maintaining R packages like bpmodels, epichains, and EpiNow2 for reproducible outbreak/epidemic analytics.

Research
I am interested in developing mathematical/statistical models, methods, and open-source software to evaluate the impact of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions on the spread of infectious diseases. More broadly, I am interested in quantitative research that provides insights into improving health outcomes, especially in low-resource settings.
Additionally, I like contributing to and indulging in the literature on improving science, including science communication, science policy, and science cultural research around diversion and inclusion.
