Kate Simms Email & Phone Number

I have a PhD in mathematical modelling and work as a postdoctoral research fellow at Cancer Council NSW. My research focusses on modelling the impact of HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening across a range of settings including Australia, New Zealand, England, the United States and China, and these evaluations have helped inform policy decisions for some of these countries; in particular, they underpinned a recent major review of the Australian National Cervical Screening Program that resulted in the decision to transition to 5-yearly primary HPV testing in Australia. More recently, I have been involved in modelled evaluations at the global level, including predictions for the potential elimination of cervical cancer across 181 countries.My hobbies include chess, playing social games (like resistance, mafia, pictionary, ect.) and bellringing

Listed skills include Mathematics, Matlab, Latex, Research, and 4 others.
