Dr Teresita Suarez Noguez
Mathematical and Statistical Modeller
I am a physicist and researcher associate at the Roslin Institute, University of Edinburgh. My research experience is in developing computational simulations of dynamical systems, mathematical and Bayesian statistical analysis methods, and applying machine learning techniques to process large datasets.
I recently moved from astrophysics to epidemiology and now work at EPIC developing and adapting these methods to model livestock disease systems such as African swine fever. Using data on the movement of livestock animals in Scotland, I aim to simulate how an epidemic outbreak would propagate to provide the Scottish Government with scientific evidence that allows the planning of control strategies.
Additionally, I collaborate with my colleagues in EPIC to estimate the likelihood of the incursion of livestock diseases in Scotland in the future.
