research activitiesEugenio's research interests revolve around modeling the spread of infectious diseases on contact, mobility, and transportation networks. He integrates theoretical and data-driven approaches, both aiming to get a general understanding of spreading processes, and at the same time being able to deal with real-world scenarios, specific diseases and contact structures. His current focus is the HIV epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa.
