Biography
Romain Ragonnet is an infectious disease modeller. He obtained a Master's degree in Applied Mathematics at the University of Lille (France) in 2014. He then realised his doctoral studies at the University of Melbourne between 2015 and 2018. The topic of his PhD was the mathematical modelling of tuberculosis.
Romain has extensive experience in the fields of epidemiological research and programmatic application, both using the mathematical modelling tool. A significant part of his research work consists in exploring the dynamics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission in order to improve the understanding of TB epidemiology and to assist local and global TB control.
Expertise related to UN Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. This person’s work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
