Research Interests & Projects
Committed to improving disease outcomes of populations by highlighting and clarifying
the role of spatial heterogeneity and untimely vaccination within and between communities.
This involves finding the best ways to quantify vaccine hesitancy and under-vaccination
within communities, as well as identifying the impacts vaccine hesitancy has on immunity
levels in populations of different sizes. I am working under the mentorship of Dr.
Matthew Boulton. I also maintain a vaccine-related blog, knowyourvax.com, to communicate
scientific concepts in a publicly accessible way.
