Education
2020-2024: PhD in Infectious Disease Modelling, University of Cambridge, UK.
Supervised by Prof. Henrik Salje and Prof. Julian Parkhill
Global dynamics of Bordetella pertussis and implications for control.
My main PhD work was building methods that help shed light on the underlying transmission dynamics of infectious disease. I developped methods that make use of the growing availability of both genetic and spatial data. I worked on Bordetella pertussis in collaboration with Institut Pasteur, Paris, France. I also worked on SARS-CoV-2, Listeria monocytogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae and dengue virus.
