Amy Wesolowski

Amy Wesolowski is an Associate Professor of Epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland. She specializes in Infectious Disease Epidemiology with a focus on understanding the spatial dynamics of infectious disease transmission through innovative data analysis and modeling approaches.

Her primary research interests include:

• Infectious Diseases
• Malaria
• Dengue
• Measles
• Rubella
• Disease Modeling
• Human Mobility Data
• Spatial Epidemiology

Dr. Wesolowski's research integrates molecular data (genomics, serology), behavioral data (particularly human mobility patterns), and traditional epidemiological data to create comprehensive models of disease transmission. She has established significant research programs in Zambia studying measles dynamics and malaria transmission, leveraging mobile phone data to track population movement and its impact on disease spread. Her work in India examines how environmental factors and mobility changes influence disease transmission patterns, particularly for COVID-19 in rural and urban settings.

Her recent research output demonstrates strong focus areas:

• Methodological improvements in mobility data for disease modeling
• Impact of environmental factors on disease transmission dynamics
• Evaluation of malaria control interventions in holoendemic regions
• Modeling pandemic impacts on other infectious disease transmission
• Integration of molecular and mobility data in epidemiological models

Dr. Wesolowski has produced 108 research outputs with increasing productivity in recent years (15 publications in 2022, 12 in 2023, 11 in 2024, and 7 in 2025). Her work has garnered attention across multiple platforms including news outlets, academic social networks, and professional networks like X (Twitter) and Bluesky.
