Who I’m
Disease and arthropod-vector ecologist. Former U.S. Navy entomologist and currently research assistant professor at department of biology in University of Nevada-Reno. I build distribution models using data science and field collected data to demonstrate the geographic mosaic of disease pathogens and their arthropod vectors to alleviate the risk of arthropod-borne diseases and for decision making during outbreaks. I use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) techniques to study the impact of landscape-climate changes on biotic interactions/correlations for arthropod communities. I develop, with my collaborators, user-friendly platforms for disease-risk mapping and arthropod identification using machine learning and artificial intelligence.
