Angkana T. Huang, aka Hat, leverages her multidisciplinary experiences (industrial design, computer science, and biology) to understand factors that shape transmission of dengue. At population scales, she studies how changes in demography and societal interactions impact the ecology and evolution. At molecular scales, she works to uncover molecular mechanisms responsible for antigenic differences between closely related strains. In addition to advancing knowledge through complex mathematical models, she also works to expand the capabilities of local communities to improve their ability to address their own specific challenges.
