Martina Morris’s primary contributions have been statistical methods for network analysis, with applications to HIV transmission dynamics. She co-leads the NIH-funded team that developed the ERGM framework for statistical network analysis, published in the Statnet suite of R packages. With Sam Jenness and Steve Goodreau, she extended this foundation to develop EpiModel’s framework for stochastic epidemic modeling on dynamic networks.
