Research Overview
The Bani Research Lab develops data-driven models and applied quantitative tools at the intersection of public health, healthcare systems, and infectious disease dynamics. Our work integrates mathematical modeling, simulation, and analytics to support decision-making and real-world interventions.
Research Areas
Explore our four main research thrusts:
- Infectious Disease Modeling
- Healthcare Systems Analysis
- Optimal Control Strategies
- Data Science & Analytics
Current Projects
- Healthcare pathogen transmission: modeling risk, prevention, and system-level interventions across clinical and long-term care settings.
- One Health & antimicrobial resistance (AMR): modeling transmission pathways across farms, communities, and environments.
- Climate and zoonotic spillover: investigating how extreme events and climate drivers influence disease emergence and exposure risk.
- Methods development: Bayesian inference, agent-based modeling, spatiotemporal analytics, and uncertainty quantification.
