London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine

I'm Adam Kucharski. I am a Professor of Infectious Disease Epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, where I focus on making better use of data and analytics for epidemic preparedness and response. This includes large-scale studies of social behaviour and immunity, as well as development of open source software tools. I also write about science, and my articles have appeared in places like Wired, Financial Times, New Scientist, Scientific American, The Times and The Observer. My last book The Rules of Contagion, named as a Times, Guardian and FT Science Book of the Year. My new book Proof: The Uncertain Science of Certainty is out in spring 2025 and available to order now.
