Dr. Dimitrov specializes in mathematical epidemiology with emphasis on HIV transmission dynamics. His research integrates advanced modeling techniques including ordinary/partial differential equations and impulsive systems to evaluate public health interventions. Current projects analyze drug resistance mechanisms in pre-exposure prophylaxis, develop optimal HIV prevention frameworks, and investigate transmission interruption strategies among high-risk MSM populations.

He contributes to the Donnell Lab's mission within Fred Hutch's Vaccine and Infectious Disease Division, applying mathematical biology to real-world infectious disease challenges through collaborative public health research.
