معرفی
Olivia Feldman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Tennessee. Her research focuses on the intersection of mathematics and biology, particularly in developing mathematical models to understand infectious disease dynamics. Key areas include vector-borne diseases, drug resistance, and spatial transmission patterns. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Florida and has been supported by grants such as the NSF CAREER award for designing optimal sampling strategies in epidemiological models.
Her work integrates pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics with population-level disease transmission, explores within-vector parasite diversity, and examines spatial heterogeneity's role in disease spread. Recent grants include DMS-1816075 (collaborative research on vector-borne diseases and drug resistance) and DMS-2045843 (CAREER grant on sampling strategies).
