Bio
I am a disease vector ecologist interested in understanding the ecology of arthropods that transmit diseases in the tropics and sub-tropics. The pursuit of new disease control tools and strategies underpins my work. I began my career by studying how mosquitoes "smell" out resources and then manipulating these odors to "confuse" them and interrupt the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases. As a postdoc, I moved to study the visual and chemical ecology of tsetse and other biting flies that transmit African trypanosomiasis, and ticks that spread a plethora of zoonotic pathogens.
I hold a doctorate degree in Entomology (Vector Ecology) from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (UK) and have been trained in chemical ecology at both at the Pennsylvania State University (US) and Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet (Sweden). Importantly, I have significant experience with developing, appraising and rationalizing vector control for Malaria, trypanosomiasis, and tick-borne-diseases.
I interact and work with people across all continents and many small villages. When free, I either enjoy creative discussions on innovation, science, philosophy, and religion or just play with my children. I love listening to and discussing biases and opinions on various issues of development and under-development. I work with innovators, entrepreneurs and researchers from all walks of life to find sustainable solutions to global health challenges in the developing world.
