Abstract

My specific research focus is in the development of mathematical and computational models to synthesize environmental data for describing and predicting the characteristics of population and disease dynamics on the landscape. The results from this research are documented in the following chapters: 1) Mathematical Disease Ecology. This uses numerical and qualitative analysis to study a model for Tick Borne Relapsing Fever in an island eco-system. 2) Computational Landscape Ecology. The development and applications of a spatially explicit computer model to predict population connectivity and gene flow on complex landscapes is described.
