Richard White

Richard White is an accomplished Assistant Research Professor with a focus on the mathematical and statistical modelling of infectious diseases, particularly tuberculosis (TB) and HIV. He is affiliated with the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, where he has made significant contributions to the field since earning his Ph.D. in Infectious Disease Modelling. Richard has played a pivotal role in establishing the Centre for the Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases at LSHTM and has co-authored around 200 peer-reviewed publications. His research aims to create evidence-based strategies that aid national and global decision-makers in reducing the burden of TB. As a leader in his field, he directs the TB Modelling and Analysis Consortium and actively participates in various committees focused on TB vaccine discovery and public health initiatives. Richard is also dedicated to education, teaching courses on infectious disease modelling, and supervising PhD students, ensuring that future researchers are well-equipped to tackle pressing public health challenges.
