Travis Sanchez, DVM, MPH
Dissemination Core Member
Dr. Sanchez is an Associate Professor in the Department of Epidemiology. He worked as an epidemiologist in Fulton County, GA, and coordinated Georgia’s District Epidemiology program, which involved prevention for HIV/STD/Viral Hepatitis/TB. In 10 years at CDC, he helped to establish 2 supplemental HIV surveillance systems (NHBS and MMP) and supervised teams responsible for determining the cost effectiveness of different models of HIV screening. As Associate Chief for Science in DHAP’s BCSB, he developed manuscript tracking systems and ensured that resources were applied to manuscript completion. Sanchez shepherded key papers on HIV surveillance, epidemiology, and trials results through drafting, clearance, and publication. As ACS, he worked on a model to estimate HIV transmissions among MSM and provided data inputs and advice on DHAP’s resource allocation model.
Samuel Jenness, PHD
Assistant Professor
Dr. Jenness is an infectious disease epidemiologist specializing in mathematical and computational approaches for investigating the prevention and treatment of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. He received his PhD in Epidemiology from the University of Washington. At Rollins School of Public Health, he is the Principal Investigator of the EpiModel Research Lab, which focuses on developing methods and software tools for network-based mathematical modeling of infectious disease transmission dynamics.
Jeb Jones, PhD, MPH, MS
Research Assistant Professor
Dr. Jones is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology. His research focuses on behavioral aspects of HIV risk, risk assessment methods, mobile-based HIV prevention interventions, and mathematical modeling approaches to understanding the HIV epidemic among men who have sex with men. He teaches multiple epidemiological methods courses at Emory and serves as Thesis Advisor for Applied Epidemiology students in Emory’s Executive Master of Public Health program. His CAMP projects include network modeling analyses to explore HIV/STI transmission dynamics and small-area estimation of HIV prevalence and diagnosis rates.
Monica Trigg, MPH
Project Coordinator, Governance Team
Monica is an Associate Director of Programs in the Department of Epidemiology. Before joining Emory, Monica supported a number of global health initiatives with CARE, The Carter Center, and the Peace Corps. These roles took her on many incredible adventures across the world and provided exposure and built expertise in real-world public health concerns and programs through which to address them. She also spent five years with the Georgia Department of Public Health with the Immunization Program, first as a regional program officer and then as the Vaccine Manager, overseeing distribution of federally-purchased vaccine to the state’s 1,500+ immunization providers.

Kevin Weiss, MPH
Data Analyst
Kevin joined PRISM Health as a graduate research assistant in 2014, and started as a full time staff member in 2016, focusing on CAMP. He works to support agent-based modeling efforts focusing on HIV and other STIs in MSM. He has worked on multiple projects with PRISM, including AIDSVu, HIVContinuum, Sibanye Health Project, and KPIS. He earned a BS in International Studies and Biology from the University of Michigan and a MPH in Global Epidemiology from the Rollins School of Public Health.
Taylor Wimbly, MPH, CHES
Public Health Program Associate
Taylor Wimbly holds a Bachelor of Arts from Spelman College and a Masters of Public Health from Emory, Rollins School of Public Health. While at Spelman, Wimbly gained a passion for working with individuals infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. She has worked with various populations local and abroad to provide HIV education, testing and counseling. She joined the PRISM team in 2014 as a Graduate Research Assistant on Stronger Together and remained working with the study throughout her time at Rollins. Wimbly also worked in a Gwinnett County high school facilitating an evidence -based sexual education curriculum to 9th grade students. Wimbly currently works as a Project Coordinator on Stronger Together and supports dissemination efforts on the Emory Coalition for Applied Modeling for Prevention (CAMP) project.
