Bio
I am an Associate Professor of Statistics at Virginia Tech. My research interests are in statistical and mathematical biology, ecology, and epidemiology. In particular, I am interested in how individual behavior and local interactions between individuals in a population influence population level patterns, and statistical methodologies for inference of mechanistic models of biological systems. I am also moving into ecological forecasting.
