His research focuses on tuberculosis epidemiology with emphasis on drug resistance, HIV co-infections, and genomic transmission analysis. He develops mathematical models and data-driven approaches to improve TB control strategies across Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, and the United States.
Recent work includes 2024-2025 studies on:
- Geographic disparities in Brazil's TB diagnosis
- Post-TB sequelae burden in the US
- Omicron subvariant dynamics
- Genomic surveillance tools
- Correction of spatial modeling methods in Moldova
- Cost-effectiveness of targeted TB interventions
Scientific recognition includes:
- NIH New Innovator Award (2009)
- Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering (2022)
- Leadership in the Yale Public Health Modeling Unit
He mentors through collaborations with the Cohen Lab, Yale-UPR Integrated HIV Initiative, and Public Health Data Science efforts, while directing NIH-funded projects on TB/HIV co-epidemics and antimicrobial resistance.
