About: Carl comes from the physical sciences, but his personal research is now primarily on large scale infectious disease models and simulation. He does so via a business he founded, Very Good Research and Development. Separately from that research, he works to develop collaborations between the United States and African partners on science, technology, and innovation fronts as an officer serving in US Africa Command.
