​​I earned my PhD in 2014 from Arizona State University, then obtained three independent, internationally competitive postdoctoral fellowships in computer simulation modeling (McGill University, Canada), virology (Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research, Germany) and disease signaling (Durham University, England). This diverse training underpins my collaborative, interdisciplinary approach to science. In 2019 I joined the University of Stirling's Psychology Department as a lecturer.
