My group carries out research on the ecology and epidemiology of waterborne and enteric diseases.  We use environmental microbiology and environmental epidemiology methods to study water quality, food safety, and the impact of climate and land use change on the transmission of diarrheal diseases.  After serving on the faculty at Emory for 10 years I moved to University of Washington in 2020.
