Personal Statement
Ed Hill is an applied mathematician and data scientist, working on problems in epidemiology and modelling of infectious disease dynamics. He has a PhD in Interdisciplinary Mathematics and was previously based at the Zeeman Institute: Systems Biology and Infectious Disease Epidemiology Research (SBIDER) at the University of Warwick. His research interests involve addressing interdisciplinary problems in epidemiology that involve the dynamics of behaviour. Mathematical and computational methods used include the development of models, parameter inference and the evaluation of interventions via computational simulation. Application areas span public, veterinary and plant health policy, including zoonoses and the implementation of One Health approaches to disease management.

At the University of Liverpool, Ed is affiliated to the Civic Health Innovation Labs (CHIL) within the Institute of Population Health, a member of The Pandemic Institute (where he serves on the Internal Science Advisory Panel) and a member of the NIHR Health Protection Research Unit in Gastrointestinal Infections. Ed is also involved in the following research groups: Statistical Modelling group; Mathematical Biology.

Ed is also linked to the JUNIPER (Joint UNIversities Pandemic and Epidemiological Research) partnership. JUNIPER is a collaborative network of researchers from across the UK who work at the interface between mathematical modelling, infectious disease control and public health policy. JUNIPER aims to embed scientific activities within an open and collaborative framework (including public outreach so that scientific assumptions and findings are effectively communicated), build national capacity and contribute to training the next generation of applied epidemiological modellers.

Research Overview
My research to date may be grouped under four broad categories: (i) Modelling to inform health policy; (ii) Social contagion and impact of behaviour on infectious disease dynamics; (iii) Zoonotic transmission and One Health; (iv) Symptom propagation.
