Teaching
I teach on a variety of modules and short courses, including "Modelling and the Dynamics of Infectious Diseases", "Introduction to Infectious Disease Modelling and Its Applications" and "Epidemiological evaluation of vaccines: efficacy, safety and policy".
I co-organise the short course on "Pandemics: Emergence, Spread and Response" and the study module on "Health Decision Science"
Research
My research centres on understanding the spread of infectious diseases and how best to control them. This uses a variety of techniques, including mathematical, statistical and economic models. I am particularly interested in using these methods to help produce evidence-based public health policy.
