Scholarly Interest
My research focuses on how anthropogenic changes in the environment affect the ecology and behavior of vector mosquito species. My experience and knowledge uniquely position me to employ modern approaches and techniques, such as molecular and computational ecology to address complex questions about the adaptation and proliferation of mosquito vector species in urban environments and the associated drivers of pathogen transmission to humans.
