Daniela Rodriguez-Chavez

Daniela is a PhD student co-advised by Perry de Valpine and Carl Boettiger. She is broadly interested in modeling vector-borne diseases and developing dynamical systems and statistical methods to better understand outbreaks as a function of climate, cross-immunity, and demographic factors. She is currently exploring the spatio-temporal relationships between dengue, chikungunya, and zika in Brazil.
