COVID-19 modeling

Currently, I am serving as lead of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Modeling and Advanced Analytics Team on the COVID-19 response for the State of California. In this role, I am working to increase internal infectious disease modeling capacity at CDPH while also synthesizing and translating modeling evidence from external partners that impacts public health policy.

Some publications and resources that I have contributed to:

• COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations by COVID-19 vaccination status and previous COVID-19 diagnosis—California and New York, May–November 2021

• Estimating Relative Abundance of 2 SARS-CoV-2 Variants through Wastewater Surveillance at 2 Large Metropolitan Sites, United States

• Nonpharmaceutical Interventions Remain Essential to Reducing COVID-19 Burden Even in a Well-Vaccinated Society: A Modeling Study

• Risk factor targeting for vaccine prioritization during the COVID-19 pandemic

• California COVID Assessment Tool
