Diverse statistical and spatial analytical methods are informed by theory from the fields of medical geography, epidemiology, and ecology. Those theories and methods are used to examine diverse topics, such as the role of populationenvironment drivers in viral evolution, how social connectivity and spatial connectivity simultaneously contribute to disease incidence, and the use of environmental indicators to predict disease outbreaks.
