Hi there ๐
Iโm an infectious disease researcher interested in real-time analysis, forecasting, semi-mechanistic modelling, and open-source tool development.
BIO
- ๐ข 2024-: Assistant professor in real-time modelling of infectious disease w/ Sebastian Funk at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
- ๐ข 2023-: Contractor supporting the CDC Centre for Forecast and Outbreak Analytics
- ๐ข 2020-2023: Postdoc in real-time modelling of infectious disease w/ Sebastian Funk at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
- ๐ข 2017-2019: Data Scientist at Funding Circle
- ๐ 2016-2019: PhD at the University of Bristol on modelling the use of the BCG vaccine in the UK
- โ๏ธ I use daily:
R
, julia
, stan
- ๐๏ธ I like to perform analysis using novel models on interesting data and generalise those approaches into software ๐ฆs
- ๐ Iโm mostly active within the epinowcast community
- ๐ฑ Learning all about Julia and Turing.jl - currently wondering why in the world you would use callables.
- ๐ Reading: Probability and random processes
- ๐ฌ Ping me about statistical modelling of infectious diseases, real-time analysis of infectious diseases, estimating transmission dynamics in real-time, and team science opportunities
