Maya Katrin Gussmann

Maya Katrin Gussmann serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. Based at the Animal Welfare and Disease Control research unit (Grønnegårdsvej 8, 1870 Frederiksberg C), she maintains an active research profile with 26 documented research outputs as of the latest information.

Dr. Gussmann's research primarily focuses on epidemiology and statistical methods in data analysis, with specialized expertise in modeling disease spread and control mechanisms for intramammary infections (mastitis) in dairy cattle. Her methodological approach combines advanced statistical techniques with veterinary epidemiology to develop practical disease management strategies. She has established professional collaborations with industry partners including SEGES and FOSS, though she explicitly states she does not receive any salary from these companies.

Analysis of Dr. Gussmann's recent publications reveals a multidisciplinary research program spanning mathematical modeling of disease transmission dynamics, analysis of dairy cow behavior and social networks, investigation of environmental reservoirs for mastitis pathogens, and development of statistical methods for early disease detection using routinely collected farm data. Her work bridges theoretical epidemiological modeling with practical applications in dairy farming systems.

Among her professional achievements is the 1st prize for most innovative Datathon Project, awarded in August 2021. This recognition highlights her innovative approach to data analysis in veterinary science challenges.

Dr. Gussmann maintains active research collaborations across multiple institutions, as evidenced by her co-authorship patterns. Her work contributes significantly to the mission of improving animal health through scientific research and evidence-based interventions in the Animal Welfare and Disease Control unit at the University of Copenhagen.
