Adam Kucharski
I'm Adam Kucharski. I am an Associate Professor and Sir Henry Dale Fellow at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, where I work on mathematical analysis of infectious disease oubreaks.
I also write about science, and my articles have appeared in places like Wired, Financial Times, Scientific American, The Times and The Observer. My new book is The Rules of Contagion.
My research focuses on the dynamics of infectious diseases. In particular, I am interested in how social behaviour and immunity shape disease transmission, and how knowledge of such processes can enhance control measures. This work is funded by a Wellcome Trust/Royal Society Sir Henry Dale Fellowship.
From 2013–17, I held a Medical Research Council Career Development Award in Biostatistics. Prior to joining the School in October 2013, I was a postdoc at Imperial College London. I have a degree in mathematics from the University of Warwick (2009) and a PhD in applied mathematics from the University of Cambridge (2012).
