Personal profile
Research interests
I am an aquatic epidemiologist who uses statistical and mathematical models to get insight into the interactions between environment, host and pathogen in aquaculture systems, with the goal to deliver evidence based information that can improve health management, mitigate disease and mortality, and improve sustainability of the sector.
