I currently work on mathematical models of hierarchical spatial diffusion and statistical analysis of raised incidence of disease, conditioned on various factors. Specifically, I work on statistical models that identify areas of raised or lowered incidence of a disease conditioned on the attributes of each location. I am interested in identifying the spatial scale over which various processes operate. My research center personnel are experts in spatial data analysis from both a statistical and computational viewpoint, as well as GIS and mapping.

Co-Director and Professor of Practice
School of Politics and Global Studies

I work on security policy and online security graduate education and focus on how the power of narratives to create communities of understanding (which are particularly significant within contexts of deep-rooted mistrust) can influence people to believe things that are not true. I am involved in the New America Coronavirus Daily Brief, a daily news and analysis roundup, and in a new concentration in our online global security masters program dealing with bio security and pandemics. I also am involved in fieldwork-based research on social networks and health risks in northeastern Syria and part of Iraq. I can connect with ASU faculty from multiple disciplines to develop online educational material on bio security, and can lead in social science and interdisciplinary policy analysis. I can bring collaborators from New America, a D.C.-based think tank, the U.S. Army Strategic Studies Institute, Drexel University Peace Engineering, and other groups.
