Description of Clinical Expertise

Critical care; sepsis; acute respiratory failure; shock; multi-system organ failure; influenza and respiratory viral infections; COVID-19; global health

Description of Other Expertise

hospital operations; preparedness and response; hospital capacity strain

Description of Research Expertise

My research interests focus on the evaluation of critical care and acute care resources during times of strain to the system, including situations of dynamic strain (i.e., random variation in demand, seasonal trends, epidemics, and disasters) and fixed strain (i.e., critical illness in resource-limited settings domestically and globally).
