Grant: Canada 150 Research Chairs
Simon Fraser University
$350,000.00
Canada 150 Research Chair in Mathematics for Infection, Evolution and Public Health
EF 2021-22
Résumé
My research is at the interface of data science, mathematical modelling and public health. There is a gap between the kind of data we can collect about infections, and our ability to use those data for public health. I build the quantitative tools to fill this gap. As one example, I built a method to use DNA sequences from infections to understand how an outbreak is spreading, and to stop outbreaks more easily. My work is built on new mathematical structures and models, and on new ways to summarize and compare complex data about evolution and diversity.
