Reiner is a Disease Ecologist and that combines his extensive background in applied mathematics, statistics and probability with four years of postdoctoral training in mathematical ecology, epidemiology and entomology to model infectious diseases.

His current focus is on drivers of temporal variation (both seasonal and inter-annual variation) in incidence. Additionally, from a more methodological standpoint, Reiner is interested in developing novel modeling frameworks to assess questions of interest that are designed to incorporate and leverage individual-level’ data related to infectious diseases.
