Research
I worked with Sophia Giebultowicz on the Geographical Analysis of Malaria and HIV in Malawi and with Veronica Escamilla on the Bacterial and Viral Pathogens in Groundwater in Bangladesh as a Carolina Population Center Intern. My previous research experience includes accompanying Caryl Feldacker to Lilongwe, Malawi, in the summer of 2008 to help develop an ArcGIS database from Malawi census files and satellite imagery.
In continuation of my research, I returned to Malawi in the summer of 2009 to work on a GSK phase III malaria vaccine trial and to collect information for my senior honors thesis.
