Prof. Adam Kleczkowski

A short biography:

Professor Adam Kleczkowski (University of Strathclyde) has over 30 years of experience in modelling of disease systems at the interface of epidemiology, socio-economics and policy. Having graduated in Physics, he worked on epidemiological and ecological models in Germany and England, holding a Senior Research Fellowship at the King’s College, Cambridge, and a lectureship at the University of Cambridge. In 2007, he moved to the University of Stirling, and since 2018, he has been a Global Talent Professor at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. He has developed models for disease and pest spread across the OneHealth spectrum, from plants and trees (agricultural and forest hosts), through animal (Bovine Viral Diarrhea) to human diseases (measles, Norovirus, and pandemic influenza and COVID-19). He is currently co-leading a project on remote sensing detection of an invasive aquatic plant, Water Hyacinth in India (funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering). He has published 58 articles with 2744 citations (h-index of 30, Google). Kleczkowski is a trustee for the Scottish Forestry Trust. He has also written numerous popular science articles on mathematics, statistics and epidemiology, attracting over 1.8m reads on The Conversation UK.

Research interests:

I have over 30 years of experience in the modelling of disease systems at the interface of epidemiology, socio-economics and policy. I have studied diseases and pests spread across the OneHealth spectrum, from plants and trees (agricultural and forest hosts) through animal (Bovine Viral Diarrhea) to human diseases (measles, Norovirus, pandemic influenza and COVID-19). I also have extensive experience working on statistical analysis of data and remote sensing, as well as modelling the impact of climate change on nature and societies. I have maintained a keen interest in physics and particularly its applications to biology. I have written numerous popular science articles on mathematics, statistics and epidemiology, attracting over 1.8m reads on The Conversation UK and participating in the Webinar in 2020.

My scientific articles can be found on Google Scholar, and my other writings on Authory. I am also maintaining a regular blog.
