Valentina Costantino is a Research Associate at the Kirby Institute, UNSW Sydney, focusing on mathematical modelling and optimization in the context of public health. With a strong background in mathematics, she holds a Master of Philosophy from the School of Population Health at UNSW and completed her PhD on the optimization of outbreak and pandemic response for emerging infectious diseases in January 2022. Her work primarily involves the use of mathematical models to forecast epidemics and test the effectiveness of pharmaceutical interventions. Costantino's research has contributed significantly to public health policymaking, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, where she studied the impacts of international border closures and vaccination uptake on disease control. She has also worked on models related to seasonal influenza, anthrax, and smallpox, providing insights into bioterrorism preparedness and response. Her scholarly contributions have been recognized through multiple publications in high-impact journals and presentations at international conferences.
