Senior🎓
Top SchoolEric Lofgren is an infectious disease epidemiologist and Associate Professor at the Paul G. Allen School of Global Health, Washington State University, with 13 years of experience bridging mathematical modeling and observational epidemiology. His work focuses on validating model parameters against real-world data, evaluating public health interventions in settings where traditional studies are impractical, and developing methods to improve collaboration and interpretation between modelers and epidemiologists. He previously trained at Virginia Tech’s Network Dynamics and Simulation Science Lab and earned a PhD/MSPH in Epidemiology from UNC Chapel Hill, bringing both computational and clinical perspectives to hospital- and community-level infection prevention. Notably, he emphasizes methodological rigor by reconciling mathematical assumptions with effect estimates from observational studies, making his research directly actionable for pandemic planning and healthcare-associated infection control.
