Teaching

I teach across infectious disease modelling, health emergencies, and applied public health decision-making. My teaching is mostly at module level, with practical work kept focused on reproducible analysis and policy-relevant interpretation.

Current teaching roles at Imperial

• Global Master of Public Health (Health Protection module): Module co-lead since 2024/2025.
• MSc Epidemiology (Outbreaks module): Module co-lead from 2025/2026, covering outbreak analysis and response in health emergencies.
• MSc Epidemiology (Emerging and Neglected Tropical Diseases): Lecturer on planning and preparing outbreak research.

Supervision

• Nisreen Shehada (PhD, started Jan 2026) — vaccine-preventable disease models to support humanitarian operations.
• Cosmo Santoni (PhD, started Jan 2025) — deep learning surrogates for infectious disease models.
• Ishana Atkinson (PhD, UCL) — modelling and mapping vaccine equity, supported by OJ.
• Primary supervisor for 5 Master's research projects in 2024/2025 (4 MPH, 1 MSc).
• Additional contributions include dissertation marking, viva examining, and PhD ESA/LSR examining.

External teaching and mentorship

• Teaching on the AIMS AI for Science Master's programme (Cape Town).
• Contributions to Imperial's Mathematical Modelling for the Control of Infectious Diseases short course.

Supervision interests

Supervision interests include:

• infectious disease and vaccine modelling;
