She is an interdisciplinary scientist with a focus on the spatial ecology of medically important arthropod vectors. Her research focuses on investigating distributions, abundances, and functional connectivity of vector species. She uses a variety of tool sets to investigate these questions, including geographic information systems and remotely-sensed satellite imagery, and she draws from methods developed in the fields of distributional ecology, landscape ecology, and landscape genetics. Her interest in disease ecology began as an undergraduate research assistant, and continued throughout my master’s studies, when I focused my thesis project on anthropogenic landscape disturbance and Buruli ulcer disease in Benin, Africa. She is the Co-Program Director of Mosquito BEACONS working group.
