• I am an applied mathematician with primary research interests in epidemiology, ecology and evolutionary theory. Examples and details can be obtained from the Research and Publications pages of this web site, and from Selected Press Coverage of My Research. You can learn about some of my research from my TEDx talk on "Visualizing and modelling contagion".  You can learn a bit about me from my academic history and the story of how I got involved in mathematical biology research.

• I chair the Ontario Modelling Consensus Table, and I am a member of the Ontario Science Advisory Table.

Research Interests

• I develop and analyze mathematical models of biological systems, primarily for applications in epidemiology, ecology and evolutionary theory. I study many different types of models, including both continuous and discrete deterministic dynamical systems, stochastic individual-based systems, static and dynamic evolutionary games, and statistical techniques for estimation of parameters of dynamical models. All of these methods are useful for investigating infectious disease dynamics and control, which is my main area of focus.

• I am a member of member of the MacTheobio Research Group. See our work on COVID-19.
