Jan Medlock

Position:
Assistant Professor of Mathematical Sciences

Education:
PhD, Applied Mathematics, University of Washington, 2004
MS, Applied Mathematics, Georgia Institute of Technology, 1999
BS, Applied Mathematics, Georgia Institute of Technology, 1997

Professional Interests:
My research interests are in mathematical biology, specifically modeling infectious diseases, evolution, and ecology. I am currently working on a variety of subjects, from more theoretical work on the dispersal of organisms to more practical projects on HIV in Southern Africa, dengue, African sleeping sickness, and influenza.
