BIO

My research focuses on making better use of data and analytics for understanding infectious disease dynamics, to inform epidemic preparedness and response. This includes large-scale studies of social behaviour and immunity, as well as development of open source software tools. I am also co-director of the Centre for Epidemic Preparedness and Response at LSHTM.

From 2017–21, I was a Wellcome Trust/Royal Society Sir Henry Dale Fellow and from 2013–17, I held a Medical Research Council Career Development Award in Biostatistics. Prior to joining the School in October 2013, I was a postdoc at Imperial College London. I have a degree in mathematics from the University of Warwick (2009) and a PhD in applied mathematics from the University of Cambridge (2012).
