  • Ecology of poverty and disease
  • Developing and applying coupled ecological-economic models to understand 1) feedbacks between poverty and various ecological drivers of poverty such as infectious diseases, renewable resources, land-use change, population growth, etc., and 2) the impact o
  • Developing mathematical models to understand the dynamics of infectious diseases and to explore optimal intervention measures that can be implemented at the least possible cost.
  • Dynamical systems, applying nonlinear analysis, and numerical methods to study extreme multistability involving the co-existence of an infinite number of attractors in coupled biological, chemical and physical systems.
