Planning for the aftershocks: a model of post-acute care needs for hospitalized COVID-19 patients (2020)
Working paper available on medrxiv https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.06.12.20129551
Summary - A collaborative research effort with researchers and clinicians at the University of Utah. We present a method for projecting COVID-19 post-acute care needs. Our model is designed to take the output from any of the numerous epidemiological models (hospital discharges) and estimate the flow of patients to post-acute care services, thus providing a similar surge planning model for post-acute care services. See my my blog post about this project.

Chronic wasting disease undermines efforts to control the spread of brucellosis in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (2020)
Published in Ecological Applications https://doi.org/10.1002/eap.2129
Summary - An interdisciplinary modeling project based on my dissertation work. We developed a spatio-temporal model for simulating the economic impacts of various elk management policies under varying disease scenarios.

Social capital and the voluntary provision of public goods (2018)
Published in the Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics https://doi.org/10.1016/j.socec.2018.10.007
Summary - A behavioral economics experiment conducated at the University of Wyoming. We investigate the possibility of overcoming the free-riding problem through creating social capital via communication. Using data from a public goods experiment, we empirically test the effectiveness of two commonly used types of communication interventions in various organizations — structured, goal-oriented communication and unstructured, free-form communication — in creating social capital.

Economics in systematic conservation planning for lower-income countries: A literature review and assessment (2017)
Published in the International Review of Environmental and Resource Economics http://dx.doi.org/10.1561/101.00000085
Summary - A literature review and assessment on the inclusion of economic factors in Systematic Conservation Planning/Reserve Site Selection tools. My primary contribution was reviewing the use of integer programming problems in reserve site selection, the optimization algorithms used to solve them, and how the objective functions could be modified to include additional economic factors.
