In the Infectious Diseases Dynamics and Interventions group (co-led by Professor James Wood & Scientia Lecturer Alexandra Hogan), we use infectious disease models to inform the design, implementation, and effectiveness of population health interventions, particularly vaccines and immunotherapeutics. We apply a range of mathematical and statistical techniques, including differential equations, computational methods, stochastic processes, and optimisation theory. We are currently working on a program of research that focusses on transmission and immunological models for respiratory viruses such as COVID-19 and RSV and are seeking to expand our group to enhance our research capacity in this area. Positions are funded by NHMRC Partnership and Investigator grants, with a strong focus on translational outcomes that have the potential to inform policy and practice.
