Evan A. Eskew

Research Scientist

Evan is a Research Scientist using statistical methods to understand infectious disease and the global wildlife trade.

Beth Tuschhoff

Postdoctoral researcher

Beth is a postdoctoral researcher with broad interests in the ecology and evolution of infectious disease. Beth's current research focuses on understanding how the demographic dynamics of livestock populations influences the epidemiology of Rift Valley fever virus.

JUSTICE AMENYO KESSIE

PhD student (BCB)

Justice is a PhD student in the BCB program with a strong background in applied mathematics. Justice will be focusing on developing models that guide the development of transmissible vaccines for wild animal populations.

Waiguru Muriuki

PhD student (BCB)

Waiguru is a PhD student in the BCB program with extensive experience using the tools of data science to study zoonotic disease. Waiguru will be joining the lab in August 2024. Waiguru will be focusing on developing new methods for predicting and reducing the risk of pathogen spillover.

Emma Hakanson

MS student (BCB)

Emma is a MS student in the BCB program with a background in wildlife ecology who will be joining the lab in August 2024. Emma will be focusing on understanding the population dynamics of threatened Northern Idaho ground squirrels and using AI to automate wildlife monitoring.

Teg Basraon

Undergraduate researcher

Teg is an undergraduate student whose research focuses on developing statistical methods for reconstructing the historical epidemiological dynamics of infectious disease from immunological data.
