Steven is a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics at the University of Texas at Austin. Trained in epidemiology, wildlife ecology, and applied mathematics, Steven combines innovative statistical methods with high performance computing to discover the processes that shape outbreaks and the pressure points for containing them. His work has provided critical insights into the drivers of Africa’s devastating HIV epidemics, and strategies for mitigating outbreaks of Ebola, anthrax, and rabies worldwide.
