Biography
Biography
Ganna Rozhnova was awarded a PhD fellowship from The Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology in December 2006 to study Statistical Physics at the University of Lisbon. On the completion of her degree in November 2010, she was awarded a postdoctoral research fellowship from the same foundation which she held at the University of Manchester. In Lisbon and in Manchester she worked in The Physics of Biological Systems Research Group (Ana Nunes) and The Complex Systems and Statistical Physics Group (Alan McKane).
Prior to joining the UMC Utrecht, she was also a visitor in Statistical Physics and Quantitative Biology research group at the University of Cologne (Michael Lassig); Gladstone Institute of Virology and Immunology, University of California, San Francisco (Igor Rouzine and Leor Weinberger); Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University (Bryan Grenfell); Department of Zoology, University of Oxford (Jessica Metcalf); Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara (Luca Peliti).
Her current and previous research revolve around the understanding of spatio-temporal dynamics and evolution of infectious diseases. During her research career she has worked on various aspects of the modelling of childhood infections, HIV and influenza on a whole range of theoretical to applied questions.
