I am a mathematical epidemiologist and Postdoctoral Research Associate in the School of Animal & Comparative Biomedical Sciences at the University of Arizona, USA. I received my Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Central University of Rajasthan, India.
My research lies at the intersection of dynamical systems, data-informed mathematical biology, and infectious-disease epidemiology. I develop mathematical and computational approaches to understand the transmission, evolution, and control of infectious diseases, with particular interests in emerging and re-emerging infections, zoonotic and multi-host systems, and One Health. My work integrates dynamical-systems analysis, parameter estimation, identifiability, uncertainty analysis, and statistical methods to generate biologically interpretable insights for disease surveillance, intervention design, and public health decision-making.
