Hello, in the spring (2007), I completed my PhD in sociology from Ohio State
University. I am currently a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation - Health and Society Scholar
at the Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy at Columbia University.
Starting in August 2009, I will join the faculty in the School of Social and Family
Dynamics at Arizona State University. My work focuses primarily on social networks as

spread and control of infectious diseases.
