Dr Nefel Tellioğlu

I am a Research Fellow in the Melbourne Medical School at the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity, University of Melbourne. Currently, I am exploring the effectiveness of various interventions in reducing pneumococcal disease burden using computational modelling. During my PhD at the School of Computing and Information Systems at the University of Melbourne, I developed computational models to estimate the effectiveness of interventions and sampling strategies to reduce the burden of Sarcoptes scabiei and group A Streptococcus. I have also been a part of the COVID-19 modelling team of Australia, worked on the risk assessment of COVID-19 spread in Australia and intervention strategies to reduce COVID-19 burden for Australian First Nation communities.

While my current research involves computational modeling with a focus on individual-based models and infectious diseases to inform policy, my broader interests include computational biology, calibration of dynamics models, and uncovering mechanisms within complex systems.
