Frederic Bartumeus
ICREA Research Professor
He works in the field of disease ecology. The aim of his work is to understand the determinants of mosquito population dynamics and their impact on disease risk. Using a health perspective and citizen science methodologies that include new technologies such as smartphones and the internet.
His research requires an integrative vision, with new computational tools and modelling frameworks, but also a strong social component. The innovative approach of his research can generate new intelligences and revolutionise the management of mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue or Zika, by understanding them at an unprecedented range of scales.
