Research Overview

Dr. Schaber uses her background in mathematics and ecology to research the socioeconomic and behavioral factors driving infectious disease dynamics using a combination of data and theory. She is particularly interested in understanding which infectious disease models are most helpful at the onset of an epidemic when data is scarce.
