I am Assistant Professor of Infectious Disease Modelling in the Centre for the Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases and the TB Centre.
After being awarded a BSc and an MSc in Mathematics from Universitá degli Studi di Napoli Federico II and a PhD in Engineering from University of Bristol, I joined University College London and later the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine working as a mathematical modeller.
