Hello! I’m Dr. Noam Ross, and welcome to my personal website. I'm a computational researcher who works on problems in health, ecology, statistics and scientific reproducibility. I study the emergence, dynamics, and spread of wildlife diseases and how those diseases spill over between species, including into humans. I'm interested in how to predict these spillovers in time and space, and in using models that mix mechanistic and non-parametric components to do so. I work on how to make scientific software more reliable and reusable, and make our scientific and computing communities more inclusive. These days I get to do this work as the Executive Director of rOpenSci.
