Research interests

I am interested in the mathematical modelling of infectious diseases such as Malaria, particularly in Senegal, and more recently COVID-19. Hello! I am currently doing my PhD with Pierre-Antoine Absil (UCLouvain\ICTEAM, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium) and Mouhamadou Diallo (Molecular Biology Unit/Bacteriology-Virology Lab, CNHU A. Le Dantec / Université Cheikh Anta Diop, Dakar, Sénégal).
