Alison Hill is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Toronto. Her research focuses on the dynamics and evolution of infectious diseases in individuals and populations. She develops mathematical models and computational tools to understand disease dynamics at various scales, aiming to guide the design of medical interventions and public health control programs. Alison's past and present work has concentrated on important public health issues such as HIV/AIDS, SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), and antimicrobial resistance. Recurring themes in her research include disease dynamics in structured populations, the evolution of organisms in fluctuating environments, the interplay between behavior and disease dynamics, and the inferring of dynamic models from diverse data sources. Alison also emphasizes the importance of integrating education in mathematics and biology within her work.
