Biography

I’m a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Evolutionary Ecology of Infectious Disease (EEID) group at the University of Oxford.

I’m currently collaborating with the One Health Poultry Hub in order to develop a modelling framework to better understand the transmission of avian influenza, Campylobacter and other foodborne pathogens in poultry production & distribution systems.

More in general, I’m interested in the dynamics and ecology of interacting pathogens and in the role played by host behaviour in shaping pathogen ecology.
