My research focuses on the intersection of disease and macroecology. My main goal is to fill research gaps that will lead to a better understanding of the patterns and mechanisms contributing to parasite spread and the possible ways to mitigate pathogen impacts. While I have explored a broad range of avian parasites, from ticks to protozoans, such as Babesia, most of my research is focused on malaria and malaria-like (haemosporidian) parasites. During my PhD, I studied malaria parasites infecting wild avian hosts using a range of advanced modelling techniques, including network analysis and hierarchical Bayesian models. Since then, I have dedicated my work to investigating macroecological and evolutionary patterns of parasite-host dynamics and the consequences of land use change for disease in humans and wildlife. To do so, I apply remote sensing, causal inference analysis, and AI to quantify the impact of global change on disease transmission. My research contributes to mitigating disease outbreaks and wildlife burdens, ultimately improving conservation programs and human health policies in times of global change.
