Biography
Lorenzo Pellis is a mathematical modeller in infectious disease epidemiology working with Prof Matt Keeling and Dr Thomas House in the Mathematics Institute at the University of Warwick, as part of the WIDER (Warwick Infectious Disease Epidemiology Research) group. He is also an Honorary Research Associate in the Medical Research Council (MRC) Centre for Outbreak Analysis and Modelling, within the have Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology, Imperial College London and where he has collaborations in the Evolutionary Epidemiology Research Group led by Prof Christophe Fraser.
Research Interest
Development of novel deterministic and stochastic techniques to follow, approximate and summarise the dynamics of infection spread, irectly transmissible human infections, and on the heterogeneity imposed on the spread by the complexity of the human social structure.
