Saudamini Venkatesan

I am a post-doctoral researcher at the Institute of Veterinary and Ecological Sciences, University of Liverpool. I am a disease ecologist by training and broadly interested in infection processes across ecological scales. In TICKSOLVE, I will be leading the statistical analyses on data collected from study landscapes to understand how landscape structure impacts host communities and pathogen dynamics in these areas.

I will also be working in collaboration with co-investigators to model the future establishment risk of Hyalomma sp. ticks in the UK in order to identify high risk areas for future surveillance.
