Biography

Matthew James Keeling is a Professor at the University of Warwick and Director of the Zeeman Institute for Systems Biology and Infectious Disease Epidemiology Research (SBIDER). His research focuses primarily on mathematical modeling of infectious diseases and their dynamics in populations. He is particularly interested in the spread of diseases and their control, including the impact of vaccination strategies across different infectious agents such as COVID-19, malaria, and foot-and-mouth disease. He has collaborated with government agencies during major outbreaks, providing crucial projections and analyses essential for effective policy-making. Keeling has contributed significantly to understanding the relationships between epidemic data and mathematical models, aiming to provide insights that can help policymakers anticipate the consequences of various actions. With a PhD in Mathematical Modelling awarded in 1995, Keeling has an extensive background in modeling techniques that illuminate complex biological challenges, aiming to enhance public health outcomes through informed decisions.
