Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Epidemiology & Biostatistics

Study statistical analysis of epidemiologic data and management of information in infectious diseases; and within these areas, resonating with personal interests in global health, HIV, and tuberculosis research. My research revolves around the transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by studying individual patient characteristics and personal habits predicting their movement from one setting/location to another. We use both self-reported information and geospatial data from wearable mobile devices with the goal to understand mobility networks and track TB transmission in the context of a typical African city.
