Biography

Alexander Edwards uses mathematical modeling and airflow simulations to assess airborne transmission infection risk in indoor environments. His current research focuses on modeling airborne disease transmission associated with infection risk, with a particular emphasis on UK healthcare settings. He employs a combination of mathematical models and airflow simulations to develop new modeling techniques, considering features of transient behavior in multi-zone environments. His broader research interests also encompass disease transmission, indoor air quality, ventilation, mathematical biology, epidemiology, and fluid dynamics. Edwards obtained a first-class degree in Mathematics from the University of Manchester in 2020 and is currently pursuing a PhD in Fluid Dynamics at the University of Leeds, expected to be completed in 2024. He holds a position as a Lecturer in Aerosol Science at the University of Bristol, where he continues to contribute to the understanding and modeling of health-related airborne transmission.
