Jessica Davis is an Associate Research Scientist in the Laboratory for the Modeling of Biological and Socio-Technical Systems. Her research combines network science methods with data-driven epidemic modeling to respond to emerging infectious disease outbreaks. Her work aims to inform public health policies and enhance preparedness for future outbreaks by bridging the gap between theory and practice. She received her PhD in Network Science from Northeastern University, where she investigated the impact of cryptic transmission and travel restrictions during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
