Adam Akullian holds a PhD and a MS in Epidemiology from the University of Washington and an Sc.B. in Environmental Science from Brown University. During his doctoral studies, Adam studied the evolutionary ecology and spatial epidemiology of emerging enteric diseases in rural and urban Kenya, as well as the geography of HIV in rural areas of Kenya and Uganda. He was a recipient of a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship. Before graduate school, Adam worked as a research scientist at the University of California, Berkeley where he investigated the ecology and spatial patterns of Schistosoma japonicum in China.
