Summary
Jonathan Miller is a Computational Entomologist with a decade of quantitative and software engineering experience applying spatial-temporal and population-genetic models to control vector-borne disease at Oxitec. He combines deep expertise in applied mathematics, machine learning and statistical modelling—honed across roles from quantum computing research to forensic chemical detection—to forecast how genetic interventions can reduce malaria, dengue and Zika transmission. Comfortable coding in Python, R, Julia and C++, he has a track record of turning complex ecological data into robust, production-ready pipelines and peer-reviewed outputs. His background in teaching and counselling gives him a rare ability to explain probabilistic and dynamical systems to interdisciplinary stakeholders while driving projects from prototype to deployment.
