Mariah Boudreau

Postdoc Research Fellow

Mariah Boudreau is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Roux Institute and Network Science Institute. Her research focuses on stochastic disease modeling, in the context of within-host and population-level disease dynamics. Boudreau holds a PhD in mathematical sciences from the University of Vermont, and an undergraduate degree in mathematics from Saint Michael’s College. She enjoys skiing and hiking when out of the office.

Research Overview

Boudreau’s work focuses on branching processes applied to disease spread. She uses probability generating functions to model these branching processes.
