Academic Background
ü Postdoctoral:
Catalan Institute of Climate Sciences (IC 3 ), Spain in 2011.
The use of hydrological models to determine the effects of climate changes on the variation in viral flux, and therefore in risk associated with viral disease comprises a novel approach to the management of water-related disease. Tools developed in previous EU Projects will be used to conduct case studies on five selected sites (in Sweden, Spain, Hungary, Greece and Brazil) vulnerable to climate change (principally rainfall events), and the empirical baseline data accrued will be used in mathematical models constructed to estimate changes in exposure under defined conditions.
ü Doctor of Philosophy (Ph D):
