Bio:

I’m a Principal Staff Scientist in the vaccine and infectious disease division (VIDD) at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (Fred Hutch) and an Affiliate Assistant Professor in the Department of Global Health at the University of Washington in Seattle.

I received a PhD in physics at Dartmouth College and trained in infectious diseases modeling at the Fred Hutch. My current work concerns within-host and epidemiological models of viral infections. I am interested in viral evolution, the origin of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern, how to prevent and cure HIV, and modeling proviruses and T cell clones. You can find my updated list of publications here: Google scholar. Or see the details on my CV (probably not as up to date).

My research has been funded by the Washington Research Foundation (WRF), the Center For AIDS Research (CFAR), and the National Institute of Health.

Code I write for all papers is freely available on github.

HIV evolution and population dynamics!

I acknowledge that Fred Hutch/UW occupy the traditional land of the coast Salish people, the land which touches the shared waters of all tribes and bands within the Duwamish, Puyallup, Suquamish, Tulalip and Muckleshoot nations. I honor with gratitude this gorgeous land itself and its stewards. As a small gesture, I pay rent. I also acknowledge my commitment to becoming anti-racist — I continually self evaluate, identify racist behaviors, and hold myself accountable to dismantle them.
