Anna is a Veterinarian, currently associated with the Department of Veterinary Public Health and Epidemiology and with the Institute of Computational Medicine, at the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna. Her research focuses on infectious disease dynamics, particularly zoonotic diseases, using mathematical modeling and machine learning approaches. Working within a One Health framework, she integrates animal, human, and environmental data to predict and prevent future outbreaks. Additionally, her work involves the development of advanced statistical models to better understand host-pathogen interactions and disease transmission patterns across species.
