Throughout his career, Richard has collaborated with a range of stakeholders, including social researchers, epidemiologists, clinicians, and public health workers, to develop complex models that help in understanding epidemic trajectories and evaluating the potential impact of public health strategies across diverse regions including Australia, Papua New Guinea, Asia, Eastern Europe, and Africa.
