معرفی
Dr. Emily Nixon is a Lecturer in Mathematics for Healthcare at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Liverpool, within the Faculty of Science and Engineering. She leads the MIDDAC (Modelling Infectious Disease Dynamics and Control) research group, focusing on zoonotic diseases and integrating human behavior into epidemiological models.
- PhD from University of Bristol, UK
- Joined University of Liverpool in 2023
Her research spans predictive modeling of infectious diseases, with applications to Lassa fever, avian influenza, and sheep scab. She combines mathematics, computational models, and interdisciplinary collaboration with public health, veterinary sciences, and social sciences.
Key article trends include zoonotic disease control, vaccination strategies, asymptomatic transmission analysis, and behaviorally informed modeling. Her work emphasizes real-world applications and policy impact.
Scientific awards include:
- SPI-M-O Award for Modelling and Data Support (2022)
- Royal Society Rapid Assistance for Modelling the Pandemic Early Career Investigator Award (2021)
She has secured return-to-research grants to re-establish her program and plans to recruit a PhD student focused on diagnostic test optimization during outbreaks. Her MIDDAC group collaborates with experimental scientists, industry, and policymakers within a One Health framework.
