Models are to theoretical problems as experiments are to empirical problems. Caswell (1988)
My work focuses on the links between ecosystem complexity and infectious diseases dynamics and evolution. I am developing a general framework to link, in time and space, theory of community ecology and infectious disease dynamics. My favourite biological models are avian influenza, West Nile virus and Mycobacterium ulcerans. |
