Brendan is interested in complex systems, network science, and general patterns in movement of people and animals. His background is in applied math and computer science. Before UW, he worked on modeling traffic for Google maps. He’s currently working on introducing risk-structure and movement frequency to an epidemiological model.

Brendan loves board games, ultimate frisbee, talking about why cars are the worst, and talking about why Golang is the best and everyone should learn it. He has a very cute dog that everyone loves and has been to the office exactly one time (but maybe she’ll be back!). He’s already been a TA 9 times which has to be some kind of record.

Brendan frequently says he wishes he went to more SAFS and QERM things but then he’s always too busy coaching ultimate frisbee, so maybe next week! But actually you guys this is the quarter he’s gonna start going to TGIT he swears.
