As an Econometrician in the Centre for Population Health I have built numerous mathematical and statistical models of infectious diseases and epidemiological phenomena.My work at Burnet involves:— Analysing data from ongoing cohort studies operated through Burnet, including monitoring drug market trends and trends in injecting drug use throughout Melbourne; — Supervising PhD and honours students; — Ongoing involvement in the planning of randomised controlled trials (for… Show more As an Econometrician in the Centre for Population Health I have built numerous mathematical and statistical models of infectious diseases and epidemiological phenomena.My work at Burnet involves:— Analysing data from ongoing cohort studies operated through Burnet, including monitoring drug market trends and trends in injecting drug use throughout Melbourne; — Supervising PhD and honours students; — Ongoing involvement in the planning of randomised controlled trials (for hepatitis C virus treatment models of care and alcohol interventions in the community), including survey and methodology design;— Writing tenders for external funding bodies, including the World Health Organisation and various government departments; and— Input to the OptimaTB collaboration, designed to improve the allocative efficiency of country level tuberculosis spending across preventative and treatment programs.Models I have built include:— Econometric, regression, and Markov models to understand the behavioural responses of people who inject drugs to changes in drug market dynamics; — Deterministic transmission models of hepatitis C virus, hepatitis B virus, HIV and other sexually transmitted infections; — Cost-effectiveness models investigating the impact of treating chronic hepatitis C virus on the future burden of liver disease; — Intervention models to predict the benefits of hepatitis C virus vaccines; — An agent-based stochastic model for performing alcohol policy experiments among populations of young heavy drinkers; and — An allocative efficiency model as part of the ‘OptimaTB’ collaboration.

As part of the Transport Strategy & Operations team, I provided analysis and advice for the operations of metropolitan and freight rail networks throughout Australia. This includes performing network capacity analysis, timetable construction, as well as devising fleet stabling and operational strategies.

My mathematics PhD focussed on Eynard-Orantin invariants and the topological recursion. This is an exciting new area and draws connections between topology, algebraic geometry, complex analysis, random matrix theory and combinatorics.
