Ed Hill is a Tenure Track Fellow in Health Protection Data Science at the University of Liverpool. His research interests include addressing interdisciplinary problems in epidemiology that involve the dynamics of behaviour. Application areas span public, veterinary and plant health policy.
Our behaviour impacts not just our daily lives. But how do you mathematically describe the messiness of human behaviour?
With bird flu spreading through cattle herds in the US and infecting humans, the diseases poses a severe threat to wild life, poultry and also people. What can mathematical modelling do to help?
Was vaccinating vulnerable people first a good choice? Hindsight allows us to assess this question.
There have been accusations that the modelling projecting the course of the pandemic was too pessimistic. Are they justified?
Ed Hill has been working on the COVID-19 pandemic right from the start, providing government with essential epidemiological advice. Find out about his journey in this podcast.
Can you capture people's behaviour in epidemiological models?
What can last year's experiences tell us about the coming academic year?
Modelling shows that old and vulnerable people should be prioritised.
