Research Interests
My research focuses on using habitat models to describe the occurrence of mosquito species. Mosquitoes are vectors of zoonotic diseases, and through habitat modeling, I can predict regions and time periods that are at high risk of disease transmission. By identifying these high-risk areas and times, my research aims to contribute to more effective prevention and control strategies for mosquito-borne diseases.
