BIO
I am a mathematical modeller in infectious disease dynamics. My research interests centre around understanding how acute infections spread and how to mitigate outbreak risks. Specifically, I work on developing generalisable and open-access statistical tools to identify determinants of transmission, evaluate outbreak risks and inform public health policies. I first joined the School as a research assistant in 2016, and then completed a PhD funded by the Medical Research Council on "Modelling the risks of measles outbreaks near elimination" (2017-2021). Prior to joining the School, I completed two Master’s degrees (Bioinformatics and Modelling at INSA de Lyon and Public Health at Lyon 1 University).
I am affiliated with the Centre for the Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases.
