Andrew J Shattock

Senior Program Officerat the Gates Foundation, working with the malaria team. Previously Associate Professor at the University of Western Australia and Expert Consultant at the World Health Organization. Proud dad and wannabe footballer.

An infectious disease modeller with a background in mathematics. I specialise in individual-based model development, surrogate model emulators, and Bayesian approaches to model calibration. I love to write beautiful code, and enjoy a good grapple with high-dimensional calibration problems. However my primary modelling love has always been bringing numbers to life with tangible, relatable interpretations and conclusions.

My modelling portfolio spans 18 diseases including HIV/AIDS [1,2], malaria [3,4], and COVID-19 [5,6]. I've provided policy advice for governments in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australasia. As a consultant, I built the European CDC's COVID-19 model during the critical outbreak period in Europe [7,8], and the WHO's global vaccine impact model for the 50th anniversary of their flagship Essential Programme on Immunization [9,10].
