Background
- Professor of Physics and Electrical and Computer Engineering
- Research interests include Digital Epidemiology, Pandemic Preparedness, Improvement of Patient Care and Hospital Resource Allocation, Climate and Health, Monitoring Human Behavioral Changes during COVID-19, Computational Fluid Dynamics (shallow water modeling), Global Atmospheric Chemistry, and Widely Applied Mathematics
- Develops machine intelligence analytics tools to predict unobserved events in epidemiology and healthcare
- Uses big data from internet-based sources (e.g., Google search, Twitter, weather, human mobility, EHRs) to track global disease outbreaks
- Focuses on bedside patient-centered monitoring to improve clinical care
- Applies mathematical approaches to uncover relationships in health, physical, and environmental sciences—e.g., climate change impacts on antibiotic resistance and socio-political factors influencing COVID-19 mortality
