My research is primarily aimed at methodologic approaches in epidemiology.
They include risk analysis, time-space cluster analysis, economics of
disease control and simulation modeling. I am co-director of the Center for
Animal Disease Modeling and Surveillance (CADMS), which was formed 1 year
ago. Currently I am involved with a variety of projects focusing on
simulation modeling: foot-and-mouth disease spread and control in the US,
toxoplasma transmission in the California sea otter, and avian influenza
spread and control. Funding and collaborations on these projects include
the Department of Homeland Security, USDA, California Department of Food
and Agriculture, California Department of Fish and Game, the Director of
Central Intelligence, and the Wildlife Health Center. In addition, there
are approximately 20 people doing research at the Center, so there is ample
opportunity for interaction with a variety of individuals in an area of
non-traditional veterinary medicine.
