Summary
I am a Research Associate working on HIV transmission models of men who have sex with men in China. I am investigating the feasibility and impact of a crowdsourced intervention to increase HIV testing using mathematical models.
I did my PhD at the University of Sheffield modelling multi-scale ecological stressors within an epidemiological framework.
