Senior Research Fellow
The University of Melbourne
Rob Moss is a Senior Research Fellow in the Infectious Disease Dynamics Unit at the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health. His research focuses on predicting and mitigating the burden of infectious disease epidemics, through the use of mathematical/computational modelling and Bayesian inference. His primary focus is on seasonal and pandemic influenza, and (more recently) COVID-19. This includes:
- Using scenario modelling to inform recommendations for specific interventions, such as targeted antiviral distribution; and
- Synthesising models and surveillance data to generate near-real-time epidemic forecasts.
He is a proponent of Reproducible Research, Open Access, and Free and Open Source Software, and have produced several open source software packages through his research activities.
