Paul Hurtado

Paul Hurtado is Associate Professor at the University of Nevada, Reno, with joint appointments in Mathematics and Ecology, Evolution & Conservation Biology.

Research integrates:

• Dynamical systems for ecological processes
• Stochastic modeling of disease transmission
• Host-pathogen-immune interactions
• High-dimensional phase space analysis

Publications span viral ecology in insects, amphibian disease dynamics, and mathematical methods for incorporating complex dwell times in ODE models. Current work investigates viral hotspots in caterpillar populations and feedlot bloat prediction in cattle.

He maintains extensive educational resources for R programming and LaTeX scientific publishing.
