Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhil Arevalo is a computational microbiologist and Assistant Professor of the Practice with nine years of experience building mathematical and phylogenetic models that connect molecular processes to population-level disease dynamics. He has applied these skills to study heterogeneous human responses to pathogens like influenza and co-developed COVID-19 epidemiological models for the State of Illinois Epi-Modeling Task Force. Trained at MIT (PhD) with dual undergraduate degrees in Applied Mathematics-Biology and Classics from Brown, he combines quantitative rigor with clear communication and a strong passion for mentorship and teaching. Comfortable "wrangling" genomes and existing datasets, he brings an interdisciplinary lens—melding computational genomics, microbial community analysis, and evolutionary theory—to practical public-health questions.
