Dylan J. Morris

Hi, I’m Dylan, and I’m a lecturer in the school of Mathematical Sciences at Adelaide University.

My research focuses on the mathematical modelling of infectious diseases, with particular emphasis on stochastic and probabilistic approaches. I draw on methods from applied mathematics, probability, Bayesian statistics, and scientific computing to develop and analyse models that capture the complexity of infectious disease processes. A central theme of my work is the development of efficient computational methods for fitting complex stochastic models to epidemiological data, while retaining important features of the underlying biological processes. My current research interests centre on scalable stochastic methods for viral kinetics and multiscale models of infectious disease, and on epidemic forecasting.

I’ve worked in a variety of other roles over the years, with highlights listed under Professional Activities. I’ve also had the fantastic opportunity of being able to teach many courses in a range of capacities over the course of my MPhil and PhD (course coordinator, project supervisor, tutor, and marker). These experiences are detailed under Teaching. You can also find information about courses I’m currently teaching, including my current and upcoming courses there. You can find publications under Publications. Open-source code and project contributions can be found on my GitHub.
