Lindsey Fox, PhD, is a Senior Research Health Economist in the Health Economics group with RTI-HS. Dr. Fox is experienced in developing compartmental dynamic transmission models for infectious diseases and using a wide variety of mathematical modeling techniques, including Markov and stochastic modeling, simulation, statistical analysis, and optimization. She is also proficient in many software packages, including R, MATLAB, and Excel. Dr. Fox’s previous work includes optimizing government responses to example Ebola and cholera epidemics by minimizing the costs of cases and disease-management strategies under different policy structures and stochastically simulating trajectories of nosocomial C. difficile cases to investigate the relative contribution of high-touch and low-touch surfaces to transmission. As a graduate student, she developed a data-driven model to explore physiological control mechanisms governing heart-rate variability from patient heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration data. Dr. Fox’s research has been presented at numerous professional conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals.
