Research Interests
My background is in malaria vector biology and ecology with specialty in insecticide
resistance in vectors and interactions between
Plasmodium falciparum and
Anopheles gambiae . Present research interest is in developing vector-borne
infectious disease models focusing on modeling malaria transmission and interventions
from trans-disciplinary perspective.
