Kelvin Burke
Mathematical Modeller
Working groups
Background
Kelvin is a mathematical modeller in the Modelling and Biostatistics team. He primarily works on the development of allocative efficiency models for diseases such as HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (TB) as well as the application of these models in country-specific analyses and reports.
Prior to joining the Burnet Institute, Kelvin completed a Master of Science in Mathematics and Statistics, specialising in mathematical biology and applied mathematics. His undergraduate studies were also in applied mathematics.

Current projects
Optima HIV modelling
Optima HIV is an open source mathematical modelling tool to help countries respond effectively to HIV.
Optima Tuberculosis modelling
Optima Tuberculosis is an open-source model to aid the fight against TB. It combines epidemiological and economic algorithms to find the best ways to optimise resources and reduce disease.
