Summary
Caroline Franco is a Lecturer in Applied Health Sciences at the University of Aberdeen and Programme Director of the MSc in Health Data Science, with eight years’ experience applying mathematical modelling to inform global health policy. She holds a Physics PhD focused on infectious disease modelling and combines academic teaching with consultancy work for organisations such as WHO, the Global Fund and UKHSA. Her background spans theoretical physics, big-data epidemiology at Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Medicine, and hands-on modelling for COVID-19 and malaria elimination strategies. Caroline is active in academic governance and impact committees, and brings a rare mix of rigorous theory, practical policy-facing modelling, and programme leadership. An often-overlooked strength is her track record of translating complex dynamical models into actionable surveillance and intervention recommendations used by public health agencies.
