Our research uses macroecological and phylogenetic approaches to address questions that lie at the interface of ecology and evolutionary biology.  Our primary focus is on large-scale infectious disease dynamics and patterns of biodiversity.  The tools we use are large datasets, machine learning, and other computational methods.
