Professor David Greenhalgh
Mathematics and Statistics
Personal statement
I gained a PhD from the University of Cambridge in 1984 and worked at Imperial College, London from 1984 to 1986. I also have a first class Honours degree in Mathematics and a distinction in Part III Mathematics. I am currently a member of the Population Modelling and Epidemiology Research Group at Strathclyde and have been a member of Strathclyde in the Departments of Mathematics, Statistics and Modelling Science and Mathematics and Statistics since 1986. I am currently Fourth Year Adviser of Studies and also Executive Editor of Journal of Biological Systems.
In 2015 I was awarded a two year (2015-2017) Leverhulme Trust Research Fellowship grant (50K RF-2015-88) as PI to study mathematical modelling of vaccination against dengue.

Teaching
My current teaching includes
MM111 Mathematics 1B
Teaches basic mathematics, foundations, calculus and complex numbers to engineering students.
MM114 Engineering Mathematics 2E
Teaches basic mathematics, calculus, geometry and vectors, matrices and numerical methods to engineering students.
MM118 Foundation Statistics.
Teaches basic statistics, data presentation, probability, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, regression, correlation and association to bioscientists.
MM304 Inference and Regression Modelling.

Research Interests
My research interests involves mathematical and statistical techniques applied to biological problems, in particular mathematical and statistical modelling in epidemiology. I have over eighty papers in high quality refereed journals and have supervised or co-supervised almost twenty research students, seventeen at PhD level. I am regularly invited to speak at international conferences including as keynote and plenary speaker. Application areas of interest include HIV/AIDS, both heterosexual spread and spread amongst intravenous drug users, dengue vaccination, hepatitis A, hepatitits C, mumps and rubella. I have extensive overseas collaborations including Brazil (Professor E. Massad), India (Professor J. Chattopadhyay), Oman (Professor Q. J. A. Khan), Germany and The Netherlands.
In 2015 I was awarded a two year (2015-2017) Leverhulme Trust Research Fellowship grant (50K RF-2015-88) as PI to study mathematical modelling of vaccination against dengue.
