Background

Dominic’s undergraduate studies were in physics and applied mathematics, and during his postgraduate studies he continued in applied mathematics with a focus on mathematical biology.

His research was on reviewing and developing extensions to mathematical models of macroparasite transmission across human populations.

Key research interests:

• Infectious disease modelling (Neglected Tropical Diseases)
• Public health modelling (Maternal, Newborn and Child Health)

Projects:

• Decision science using Optima
• Allocative efficiency in child nutrition
• Strategies to reduce malnutrition with allocative efficiency analyses
