Camelia Walker

Dr. Camelia Walker was a Research Fellow in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Melbourne. In 2020, they completed a PhD at the University of Adelaide which developed Bayesian inference and model selection methods for emerging infectious diseases. Subsequently, they joined the Australian COVID-19 modelling efforts where their research informed the Commonwealth Government’s early public health response. Their work utilised stochastic modelling and computational Bayesian methods to characterise infectious diseases. Camelia’s research investigated inference methods for agent-based models of malaria and optimisation of intervention strategies.
