Dr Wes R Hinsley
I work in the MRC Centre for Outbreak Analysis, in the Department of Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology in St. Mary's. My main project is the Global Epidemic Simulator: a platform for modelling of directly-transmitted infectious diseases such as influenza. Simulations are individual-based, involving the travel moments and interactions between infected and susceptible people. I also do various computing-related tasks from time to time with several other departmental projects.
I am a software designer and programmer. I have an M.Eng, and a Ph.D from Imperial College Department of Computing, and I have most experience with code-generating compilers (auto-programming), and individual-based modelling. Previously I designed the Virtual Ecology Workbench (VEW), a suite of tools for creating individual-based plankton ecosystem models. See www.virtualecology.org.
