I’m a Senior 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 went on to a postdoctoral fellowship where I trained in infectious diseases modeling in the group of Dr Josh Schiffer at the Fred Hutch. My current work concerns within-host and epidemiological models of viral infections. In particular, I am interested in viral evolution, HIV reservoirs, how to prevent and cure HIV, and the origin of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern. You can find my updated list of publications here: Google scholar. Or see the details on my CV.
My research has been funded by the Washington Research Foundation (WRF), the Center For AIDS Research (CFAR), and the NIH — from which I currently hold a K25.
I’m also particularly proud of my work for Hutch United, a grassroots organization devoted to fostering a supportive and inclusive community at Fred Hutch.
Code I write for all papers is freely available on github.
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.
