Researcher | Mercator Fellow
Genomic Epidemiology - Virus Immunology - Data Science
I am a scientist dedicated to preventing infectious diseases and advancing public health by combining computational approaches and wet lab skills. Our generation is facing numerous global challenges, and I am committed to finding solutions to help us navigate through them.
I'm tackling infectious diseases as public health threats, address environmental challenges, and communicate science and data. Explore with me urban datascapes to learn more about how our cities work. Join me in bringing people together to harness the power of collaboration for science and advocating for diversity. I invite you to explore the projects that highlight my commitment to these important areas.
