Research Interests:
I am interested in the application of mathematical models to understanding infectious diseases both from an epidemiological perspective and as well as a within host perspective. My research includes understand COVID-19 epidemiology and immunology, the dynamics of HIV reactivation during and after antiretroviral therapy and the effects of vaccination on respiratory viruses. I have investigated the spread of mumps, rotavirus and influenza and the impact of vaccination against these common diseases.

Broad Research Areas:
Mathematical Biology and Modelling, Infectious Diseases, Epidemiology, Immunological Modelling

I am passionate about encouraging girls and women to explore their passion for mathematics. I regularly present the applications of my mathematical research at schools and in public forums. 

Selection of Current and Past Society Memberships & Professional Activities:
Member of the Kirby institute Executive Committee
Executive Committee Member of the Women in Mathematics Special Interest Group of the Australian Mathematical Society
Executive Committee Member of the Mathematical Biology Special Interest Group of the Australian and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics Society (ANZIAM)
Member of Australasian Society for Immunology, Society for Mathematical Biology, Australian Mathematical Society, Australia and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics Society, Australian Society of Parasitology

I am available to supervise PhD, Masters and Honours students in Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases. I have projects available applying quantitative techniques to understand the dynamics of HIV and Malaria, as well as modelling the impact of childhood vaccination programs. Students with a background in Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, or other quantitative discipline, and with an interest in infectious disease research are encouraged to get in touch. Generous scholarships are available.
