Andrew Brouwer

Andrew Brouwer is a Researcher in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. His work bridges mathematical modeling with public health research, focusing on disease transmission dynamics, environmental health interventions, and tobacco use epidemiology.

• Education:
  • BA in Mathematics and Chemistry, SUNY Potsdam (2009)
  • MA in Mathematics, SUNY Potsdam (2009)
  • MS in Environmental Science and Engineering, Clarkson University (2011)
  • MS in Applied and Interdisciplinary Mathematics, University of Michigan (2013)
  • MA in Statistics, University of Michigan (2015)

His research interests include mathematical epidemiology, WASH (Water, Sanitation, Hygiene) interventions, HPV-related carcinogenesis, and tobacco use dynamics. Recent publications analyze dengue outbreak detection, nicotine product transitions, and COPD progression, emphasizing mechanistic modeling and policy implications.

Key trends in his work highlight the application of Markov transition models to public health data, environmental pathogen surveillance, and health equity in tobacco and HPV-related outcomes. He also contributes methodologically to identifiability analysis and counterfactual simulations.
