My research interests lie in applied probability models and statistical
inference for such, in particular epidemic models and applications for
genetics and molecular biology. I have published a monograph (joint
with Håkan Andersson) entitled Stochastic Epidemic Models and
Their Statistical analysis, published as Springer Lecture Notes in Statistics.
Have a look at the old manuscript Stochastic Epidemic Models: explored
with modern probability and statistics and its separate reference list,
or better: buy the Monograph!
