About my work on infectious disease epidemiology
and beyond: viral evolution, population genomics... and birds
Research topics
A significant part of my current work at the Pandemic Sciences Institute and Big Data Institute, University of Oxford
concerns infectious disease epidemiology, especially COVID-19 epidemiology.
My scientific interests span a wide range of other topics: evolution, genomics, population genetics, pathogen dynamics.
