Individual based malaria transmission model for the study of P. falciparum pfhrp2 gene deletions - hrp2malaRia. The model is an extension of the Imperial College transmission model used as part of the Global Technical Strategy 2030 costing exercise, and was used to characterise the drivers of pfhrp2 deletion selection in the following publication:

I am an Imperial College Research Fellow supported by an Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Fellowship, working within Imperial's new AI Initiative: I-X. My primary focus is as an infectious disease modeller, data scientist, epidemiologist and an R developer. My academic work has focussed on modelling the spread of malaria and COVID-19, based at Imperial College London, Brown University and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
