Juliet Rachel Crowder Pulliam (born 1979)[1] is an American epidemiologist specializing in disease vectors and animal–human disease transmission, and in the mathematical modeling and analysis of disease outbreaks.[2] She was formerly the head of the South African DSI-NRF Centre of Excellence in Epidemiological Modelling and Analysis (SACEMA).
Education and career
[edit]Pulliam majored in biology at Duke University, graduating in 2002 with minors in mathematics and linguistics. She went to Princeton University for graduate study in ecology and evolutionary biology, earning a master's degree in 2004 and completing her Ph.D. in 2007.[3] Her Ph.D., Determinants & Dynamics of Viral Host Jumps, was jointly supervised by Andrew P. Dobson and Simon A. Levin.[3][4]
After postdoctoral research with Leslie Real at Emory University and as a RAPIDD Program Fellow at the University of California, Los Angeles and the John E. Fogarty International Center in Maryland, working with F. Ellis McKenzie & James O. Lloyd-Smith, she became an assistant professor at the University of Florida, in the Department of Biology and the Emerging Pathogens Institute.[3]
She served as head of the South African DSI-NRF Centre of Excellence in Epidemiological Modelling and Analysis (SACEMA) from 2016 to 2023,[5][6] holding at the same time an affiliation as professor of applied mathematics at Stellenbosch University. As head of SACEMA, she helped guide responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa.[6]
