About I am a full professor of Computational Epidemiology and Vaccine Science, and recipient of the 2022 university-wide President's Research Impact Award. My research involves advanced theoretical and computational methods for modelling and analysis of infectious disease dynamics, evaluating public health interventions and policies, and health economics of healthcare programs. I also develop innovative knowledge […]
Research Focus My long term research examines the population ecology and conservation of birds. My recent research has used light-level geolocators to track the long distance migration movements of songbirds to understand migration ecology, seasonal carry-over effects and the extent to which breeding populations depend on specific wintering regions. We have also used radiotelemetry to […]
Research Interests Neuroendocrine factors regulating biological processes in human disease vectorsNeurohormones and their cognate cellular receptors play an integral role in the physiology of animals regulating essential processes including reproduction, development, growth, feeding, and hydromineral balance. Research in my lab focuses on neuroendocrine factors that control peripheral tissues. For example, in gut epithelia, these hormones […]
Research Specialization Neutrino masses and mixing; Neutrino interactions with nuclei. My research aims to understand the neutrino, the most abundant particle in the universe that has any mass. Because the neutrino almost never interacts, we know very little about it. However, that same characteristic also means that we can study them by making a beam […]
Research Interests Chemical Biology, Combinatorial Chemistry, Organic Chemistry Research in the Hili group is inspired by nature and operates at the interface of chemistry and biology. Our efforts rely upon expertise in synthetic organic chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology to mimic the approaches nature uses to solve complex problems with simple solutions. Our approach to […]
