I am working on developing models for within-host dynamics of pathogens and investigating the progression from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection to Tuberculosis (TB). This involves creating epidemiological models to understand the protective effects of prior Mtb infection and identifying individuals who would benefit most from preventative treatments. My research also explores T cell dynamics and the integration of experimental data into model construction, using techniques like R, Python for model fitting. I am dedicated to advancing TB control through simulations that evaluate public health interventions, such as vaccination and treatment adherence programs. I aim to integrate mathematical modeling with biomedical science to enhance Translational Research, ultimately benefiting societal health outcomes.
