Summary
Joseph Mihaljevic is an Associate Professor in Informatics, Computing, and Cyber Systems at Northern Arizona University with 11 years of experience bridging disease ecology, epidemiology, and quantitative methods. Trained with a PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Colorado Boulder and a summa cum laude BA in Environmental Science, he applies statistical and mathematical programming—especially in R and C—to study infectious disease dynamics. His work spans academia and applied research, including a USDA NIFA postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Chicago, and emphasizes reproducible, code-driven analyses. Known for integrating ecological theory with practical epidemiological modeling, he brings a rare mix of field-informed insight and low-level programming skill to complex biosurveillance problems.
