Steven Wu

Summary

I am a second-year PhD student at the Mathematics for Real-World Systems Centre for Doctoral Training (MathSys II CDT). My proposed research topic is on H5N1 avian influenza epidemiology, supervised by Professor Mike Tildesley and Dr Christopher Davis.

Currently, I am working on developing a multi-site, distance-dependent model that captures the transmission dynamics of H5N1 in a small region.
