Panayiota Touloupou

I am a third year PhD student at the University of Warwick, Department of Statistics, and I work under the supervision of Dr Simon Spencer and Dr Bärbel Finkenstädt.

My research interests lie in Bayesian inference and model selection for partially observed stochastic epidemics. Applications have so far included Escherichia coli O157 in cattle and Pneumococcal carriage in households.


Research Interests

Key topics of interest are:

  • Epidemiology
  • Stochastic epidemic models
  • Model selection
