Nathan Doyle

I am a first-year PhD student in the Mathematics for Real-World Systems Centre for Doctoral Training at the University of Warwick. My research interests lie in the field of infectious disease modelling, particularly how mathematical models can guide policy decisions in the early stages of an epidemic.
