  Recently in the news: my HPV research.

Currently, I am working on the following topics:

• Intratumor heterogeneity: spatial stochastic modeling
  
• HPV and cervical cancer: stochastic modeling at tissue-level
• Sexual networks and HPV vaccination: infectious disease dynamics on random dynamic graphs
• Synthetic biology: modeling of synthetically engineered bacterial cultures
• Bone remodeling: stochastic spatial models and evolutionary game theory
