Current Group Members

Zak Ogi-Gittins (PhD), October 2021 - present. Working on reproduction number inference methodologies and modelling of H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreaks in domestic poultry in the UK. Co-supervised by Robin Thompson.
Phoebe Asplin (PhD), October 2022 - present. Working on modelling the impact of symptom severity on health economic outcomes. Co-supervised by Matt Keeling.
Rachel Seibel (PhD), October 2022 - present. Working on how human behaviour influences pathogen dynamics during disease outbreaks. Co-supervised by Mike Tildesley.
Elliot Vincent (PhD), October 2023 - present. Working on spatial and epidemiological modelling for wildlife and agricultural health. Co-supervised by Erin Gorisch, Matt Keeling and Stephen Parnell.
Reanna Gregory (PhD), April 2024 - present. Working on assessing the risk levels posed by different potential pandemic influenza strains, bridging between lab-based virology work and mathematical epidemiology. The aim is to generate data that informs the modelling process and can support conclusions made in silico. Co-supervised by Craig Thompson.
Fateen Yasir (PhD), August 2024 - present. Working on modelling, parameter inference and policy recommendations for measles. Co-supervised by Matt Keeling.

Lauren Adams (Masters in Public Health), 2021.
- Dissertation: “Would it be cost effective to implement social distancing measures during the influenza season: An SEIR modelling approach”.
- Destination: PhD project at the Universtiy of Cambridge, working in epidemiology and modelling to support infant immunisation programmes.
Alec Hodgson (MSc in Mathematics), 2023. Working on modelling social contagion of smoking behaviour.
- Dissertation: “Evaluating the Suitability of a Social Contagion Framework to Model Smoking Habits”.
- Destination: Aurora Energy Research, Oxford.
