Aditya Khanna

Aditya Khanna is an Associate Professor in the Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences at Brown University. His research focuses on computational modeling of biobehavioral health systems to advance health equity, particularly addressing HIV prevention among sexual and gender minorities (SGM), especially persons of color. He also investigates substance use, incarceration impacts, breast cancer screening, and pandemic responses through network-based approaches.

Key research interests include agent-based modeling, computational epidemiology, criminal legal systems analysis, and network models. He collaborates with interdisciplinary teams including clinicians, statisticians, and community stakeholders to develop data-driven public health strategies.

His work emphasizes filling empirical gaps in understanding how public health challenges spread through networked populations, such as among persons involved with the criminal legal system (PCLS). Recent projects include modeling HIV transmission dynamics, evaluating intervention strategies for marginalized groups, and analyzing social determinants of health.

Dr. Khanna has led modeling efforts for major public health initiatives, including integrating molecular epidemiology and contact tracing for HIV disruption. His research highlights the importance of network analysis in optimizing interventions and policy reforms.
