Professor Simon Frost
Simon Frost is a Reader in Pathogen Dynamics at the University of Cambridge, working on the dynamics and evolution of infectious disease, particularly those caused by rapidly evolving RNA viruses. His undergraduate training was in Natural Sciences at Cambridge (1992), and he received his D.Phil. from Oxford in mathematical biology (1996).Dr Frost is working on real-time, scalable inference of epidemiological datasets related to infectious diseases, integrating many - often imperfect - sources of data, generating inferences of quantities such as transmission rates on-the-fly.
