Biography

Louise Dyson is a Reader in Epidemiology at the University of Warwick, where she holds joint appointments in the Mathematics Institute and the School of Life Sciences. Her research interests lie in the application of mathematical and statistical physics techniques to biological and epidemiological systems, with a strong focus on modeling infectious diseases including COVID-19. Dyson’s work emphasizes understanding the biological world through mathematical approaches and discovering the simplest possible explanatory mechanisms from observed data. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she was involved in various government advisory roles, including contributing to the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), particularly through the modeling subgroup SPI-M-O as part of the JUNIPER consortium. Her contributions have been instrumental in informing public health strategies regarding the spread of COVID-19 within educational institutions. Additionally, her collaborative work includes modeling strategies for the eradication of neglected tropical diseases. Dyson is committed to bridging the gap between mathematical theory and practical applications in the field of epidemiology.
