Caroline Colijn is a Professor and Canada 150 Research Chair in the Department of Mathematics at Simon Fraser University. Her research sits at the interface of mathematics, epidemiology, and the evolution of pathogens. Colijn's group focuses on developing mathematical tools that connect sequence data to the ecology and evolution of infections, exploring the dynamics of co-infection, competition, and the selection processes that contribute to antimicrobial resistance. Her work involves analyzing and comparing phylogenetic trees and developing models that incorporate diversity into ecological and epidemiological frameworks. She earned her PhD from the University of Waterloo in 2004.
