PhD, Assistant Professor, University of Arkansas
I’m an infectious disease ecologist, and Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Arkansas. I combine field, laboratory and statistical methods to address fundamental questions in pathogen susceptibility and transmission within and among wildlife populations. I’m especially interested in zoonotic viruses, and the effects of anthropogenic environmental modifications, such as food provisioning and land-use changes, on wildlife disease processes. I primarily work with rodents and bats, and have projects based in Finland, Kenya and the United States.
