The topics of mathematical population and biological disease models interest me because it is a way to apply mathematics in real life situations that are important for our society, to protect the population form an epidemic, and to help governments wise decisions to eradicate (or mitigate the effect of) diseases. I worked on metapopulation models of infectious diseases such as avian influenza and chlamydia as well as tropical vector borne diseases such as a chikungunya and dengue.
