Research Fellow, School of Mathematics and Statistics

University of Melbourne

Dr Camelia Walker is a Research Fellow in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Melbourne.

Their research focuses on using computational statistical methods and stochastic modelling to provide policy-relevant understanding of infectious diseases. In particular, Camelia has an interest in COVID-19 modelling, malaria modelling and Bayesian inference methods for partially observed epidemics. Their malaria modelling research aims to understand the impact of malaria treatment strategies in regions where multiple species circulate. Camelia’s inference work is focused on developing methods that effectively combine multiple data sources from an infectious disease outbreak. Their COVID-19 modelling has contributed to multiple influential reports to the Australian government, provided modelling support for Samoa, and has informed WHO policy.
