I am a vector ecologist interested in malaria transmission in areas with diverse vector species. I have done extensive field work in Southeast Asia and Africa, collecting malaria mosquitoes from forests and villages to examine their behavoir and biology.
I am now a Staff Scientist in Dominic Kwiatkowski’s Malaria Genetics group. My current work is focused on the population genomics of several malaria vectors in Southeast Asia: An. minimus, An. maculatus, An. barbirostris, and An. dirus to look at the population structure of these mosquitoes in a region where drug-resistant malaria parasites are spreading and insecticide-resistance is increasing. Information about vector population structure and patterns of gene flow will inform malaria control and eradication efforts.

A wonderful and insightful roundtable discussion today #WiM2021 on some of the many challenges that prevent women from being involved in and leading malaria control and elimination efforts.
It has been one fantastic talk after another during this first day of the @womeninmalaria conference!
Such a great combination of studies on the subtle interactions of vertebrate hosts, malaria, and mosquitoes. #WiM2021
