Publications & talks

Research in print and
in conversation.

My publication record spans mathematical epidemiology, functional analysis, and optimization. The talks show how the disease-dynamics work has developed from endemic-equilibrium structure toward movement and persistence.

Presentations & seminars

The research developing in public.

The sequence moves from the structure of endemic equilibria to susceptible-population movement and, most recently, the broader persistence question in SIS network models.
