About

I'm a Professor of Mathematical Sciences in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Manchester.

My work focuses on Mathematical Epidemiology, which is an exciting field that draws on various areas of the mathematical sciences, and which played a key role in helping to respond to COVID-19. I am currently particularly interested in efficient statistical inference for epidemiological problems, complex data including networks and associated theory, numerical probability, the interface with social science, and model simplification.

Much of the support for COVID-19 work came via the UKRI-funded JUNIPER Consortium. I support development of open-source, modular software for epidemic modelling and in science more generally.
