Eben Kenah develops mathematical and statistical methods for understanding how infectious diseases spread, with a focus on epidemic modeling, transmission within households and close-contact groups, and methods for detecting and correcting bias in epidemiological studies. Much of the recent work applies these tools to real outbreaks such as COVID-19 and influenza, including forecasting methods and analysis of transmission dynamics in settings like households and prisons. The work spans applied statistics, network models of disease spread, and causal inference theory.

Publication output rose from a low base in 2017-2018 to a peak around 2021-2022 (likely reflecting COVID-19-related research), and has since gradually declined toward a more moderate, steady pace in recent years.
