Assistant Professor

Akira and his team’s current research interests include, but not limited to, disease spread within and across households/schools/workplaces, transmission dynamics over heterogeneous social and/or sexual networks and quantitative design and assessment of optimal control strategies.

At the personal level, his particular interest lies around developing new approaches to understanding the mechanisms behind disease transmission. However, eventually, anything interesting that can be modelled will be within his scope.

He likes reading novels and playing boardgames.
