Joe Hilton

I am a Research Fellow based in the Manchester Centre for Health Economics (MCHE) and the Department of Mathematics at the University of Manchester. I have previously been affiliated with the Institute of Infection, Veterinary and Ecological Sciences at the University of Liverpool as well as the The Zeeman Institute for Systems Biology & Infectious Disease Epidemiology Research at the University of Warwick.

As a mathematical modeller, I use a combination of maths, statistics, and computing to answer questions relating to human health. Human health is driven by factors ranging from biological processes at the level of cells and viruses up to population-level social, economic, and ecological phenomena, making this an inherently interdisciplinary subject. My research has two main goals: to develop mathematical methods which can be used by professionals in both academia and public health policy, and to better understand the real-world dynamics of human health in order to support scientifically-informed policy choices. You can find further details on my research to date on the Research tab of this site.
