Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlvin Han is an infectious disease modeller and biostatistician with nine years of experience translating genomic surveillance, diagnostics and antiviral strategy into global policy and operational targets. Currently Assistant Director for Biostatistics & Modelling at Singapore’s Communicable Diseases Agency and Visiting Assistant Professor at Amsterdam UMC, he has led modelling efforts for FIND and WHO that directly informed multi-billion dollar diagnostic investments and WHO surveillance frameworks. His work spans developing phylogenetic tools adopted by GISAID through to pragmatic models that guided SARS-CoV-2 antiviral stockpiling and rapid test deployment in low- and middle-income countries. Comfortable leading multidisciplinary computational teams, he combines deep quantitative training (PhD-level biomathematics/bioinformatics) with hands-on public health impact. Less obvious: his methods work has both shaped high-level international funding decisions and underpinned practical, local outbreak surveillance operations.
