Summary
Bo Gao is a Lecturer and computing lead for the Modelling for Global Health MSc at the University of Oxford with a decade of experience building GPU-accelerated agent-based models to study malaria dynamics in the Greater Mekong Subregion. His work bridges mathematical epidemiology and high-performance computing, having driven GPU acceleration and individual-based modelling throughout his postdoctoral research in tropical medicine. He began his career automating and developing financial and supply-chain software and later supported bioinformatics platform integration and DevOps, giving him rare fluency across research code, infrastructure, and production tooling. Bo holds a PhD in Computer Science and combines rigorous formal modeling of distributed systems with practical engineering to turn complex infectious-disease questions into scalable simulation tools. An understated strength is his ability to translate interdisciplinary research needs into reproducible, performance-optimized software used for policy-relevant intervention analysis.
