Shweta Bansal

I am a NIH Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Grenfell Lab at the Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics at Penn State University.

I am also affiliated with the Institute for Cyberscience at Penn State and the National Institutes of Health's Fogarty International Center.

I research and develop quantitative tools such as network theory to predict the spread and distribution of infectious diseases in human populations.
I am particularly interested in:

the impact of specific population structures on the consequences of disease spread
the design of effective and practical intervention strategies
the evolution that results from the interaction between host populations and pathogens, and the effect of this interaction on the epidemiology of the disease

Further information on my research can be found here.
