Erin Mordecai, PhD

Assistant Professor
Stanford University
Stanford, CA, United States

My research focuses on the ecology of infectious disease. I am interested in how climate, species interactions, and global change drive infectious disease dynamics in humans and natural ecosystems. This research combines mathematical modeling and empirical work. Our research questions center on how climate change, land use change, and other human impacts on the environment affect the transmission of vector-borne diseases.

I am an Assistant Professor in the Biology Department at Stanford University, a Center Fellow (by courtesy) in the Woods Institute for the Environment, a faculty fellow in the King Center for Global Development, a member of Bio-X, and a faculty affiliate of the Center for Innovation in Global Health and the Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence. I received my PhD in 2012 at the University of California Santa Barbara in Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology. I then completed a 2-year NSF postdoctoral research fellowship in the Intersection of Biology and Mathematical and Physical Sciences and Engineering at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University. I have been at Stanford since January 2015.

I do not have any relevant financial / non-financial relationships with any proprietary interests.
