About me
I'm currently a Coleman postdoc at Queen's university in Kingston Ontario.
My research is centered on creating and analyzing dynamical systems models in biology. One of my main interests is in how bacteria grow and interact in different environments.
Research Interests
-
Microbial Ecology
How do different species of bacteria grow and interact, and how does their environment affect their interactions?
-
Mathematical Epidemiology
How can we use mathematics to learn about and help prevent the spread of infectious diseases?
Recent Collaborators
-
Troy Day
Troy is a professor of mathematics and biology at Queens University. He is mostly interested in evolution. Together, we have been investigating how "persister cells" may have evolved.

Felicia Magpantay
Felicia is a professor of mathematics at Queen's University. She is mostly interested in epidemiology. Along with some summer research students, we explored the idea of a "reinfection threshold".

Elissa Schwartz
Elissa is a professor of mathematics and biology at Washington State University. She is interested in virology, immunology, and infectious diseases. We have written a few papers exploring a model of equine infectious anemia virus, a virus similar to HIV that infects horses.

Benjamin Ridenhour
Ben is a professor of mathematics and biology at the University of Idaho. Ben is interested in evolution and epidemiology. Ben and I worked on several COVID projects together, some of which were for the Idaho State Government. We are currently finishing up a project about how to assimilate wastewater data into epidemiological models.
