Charles Nunn

Bio

Charles Nunn addresses a wide range of questions at the intersection of ecology, evolution, and health. These include projects on infectious disease, evolutionary medicine, and the ecology and evolution of sleep. Many of Nunn’s research projects involve large-scale informatics datasets, including phylogenetic comparative studies and meta-analyses. Other projects involve One Health-oriented field research in rural Madagascar. Yet other projects aim to model ecological or evolutionary phenomena, such as disease transmission. All of the projects involve quantitative approaches rooted in phylogenetics, networks, epidemiology, and spatial analyses.
