Research

Using Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare Epidemiology
We study both the use of large language models to answer infection prevention questions and image processing to aid in the early detection of surgical site infections and to provide differential diagnoses.

Molecular Epidemiology
We use molecular epidemiology to investigate potential outbreaks. We also use molecular methods to assess the impact of infection prevention policy changes.

Wastewater Surveillance for Antimicrobial Resistance
We are exploring ways to use wastewater to supplement or replace classic surveillance methods for pathogens such as CRE, Candida auris, VRE, etc.

Implementation Science
We evaluate ways to implement scalable and sustainable infection prevention practices domestically and abroad.
