Hi, I’m Aleksandra 👋

Welcome to my site! Here’s where I’ll showcase current and past work. You can find my previous publications here.

About

I’m currently a second year PhD student in Epidemiology at the Brown University School of Public Health working in the Baker lab and supervised by Dr. Rachel Baker. My work lies at the interesction of climate and health, and I’m currently using the Susceptible-Infected-Recovered model to assess the impacts of climate on influenza outbreaks. In the past, my work has been funded by the NASA Rhode Island Space Consortium.

Projects

Climate-disease dynamics

Modeling the impact of climate extremes on seasonal influenza outbreaks across tropical and temperate locations We used a SIR model that incorporated climate as a driver of transmission to assess the impacts of climate variability on projected influenza outbreaks in the United States, Hong Kong, and Bangladesh. Work published in March 2025.

Projecting the impact of climate change on influenza outbreaks across temperate and tropical regions Currently I’m working with a SIR model to characterize influenza dynamics across a wide range of climate regions.

Respiratory analyses

I’ve also aided in responses to emerging influenza outbreaks on a college campus (including work featured in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) and worked on analyses about human adenovirus.
