Dr Jessica Bridgen
Lecturer in Mathematical AIResearch Overview
My research focuses on modelling complex systems. These are often stochastic dynamical systems that are only partially observed, such as infection transmission in hospitals, human mobility, or disease spread through livestock movement networks. I am particularly interested in scalable Bayesian inference for calibrating these models to data in real time, with the aim of providing decision-time evidence. My main application is currently hospital infection control, where models can help identify the drivers of transmission and inform where control measures should be targeted.
PhD Supervision Interests
I am interested in supervising projects on dynamical modelling, processes on networks, and Bayesian inference, with applications in infectious disease epidemiology and ecology.
