  Working in applied mathematics, along with my group members, I am researching the sexually transmitted infection HPV which is known to cause cervical cancer in some women. We are focusing on Gardasil (a Merck product), the first HPV vaccine to be FDA approved (for women 9-26 years old). The goal of our research is to determine the most effective means of distributing the three-dose vaccine to minimize the number of women who develop cervical cancer.
  Our research is supported by RPI and an NSF grant as part of the CSUMS program.
