Dr Chu-Chang Ku

Res. Fellow - Infectious Dis. Modelling

United Kingdom

I joined the School in December 2023. I am a member of the modelling research theme of the NIHR Health Protection Research Unit in Vaccines and Immunisation. My research focuses on the health policy assessment for infectious disease control. I am also interested in modelling health behaviours. Before joining the School, I was a postdoc at Imperial College London. I have a PhD in health economics and decision science from the University of Sheffield.
