Dr Andrew Shattock is a Principal Research Fellow of The Kids Institute and Expert Consultant at the World Health Organization. 

An infectious disease modeller with a background in mathematics, he has 10 years of experience in developing and applying mathematical models of various infectious diseases, including malaria, HIV/AIDS, COVID-19, and several neglected tropical diseases. 

Andrew specialises in transmission model development, metaheuristic optimisation, optimal allocative efficiency and supervised machine learning. He is passionate about policy-relevant applications at a global and national level, he has provided modelling evidence for more than 20 national governments and has worked as a consultant for the World Bank, the Global Fund, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). 

Before commencing with The Kids, Andrew worked at the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (SwissTPH) (2019-2024) to develop, maintain and apply mathematical models for understanding malaria, COVID-19 and RSV.  Andrew previously built the European CDC's COVID-19 model during the critical outbreak period in Europe, and the WHO's global vaccine impact model for the 50th anniversary of their flagship Essential Programme on Immunization.

Andrew holds a PhD in Mathematical Modelling from the University of New South Wales (Australia) (2016), a Master’s of Science in Mathematics from the University of Warwick, UK (2010) and a Bachelor’s of Science with First Class Honours in Mathematics from the University of Reading, UK (2009).
