Michelle Kendall

Senior Researcher

Michelle conducts research in epidemiology with a focus on digital contact tracing and pandemic preparedness. She was part of the team who, in early 2020, developed the scientific motivation for digital contact tracing for COVID-19. As an academic consultant for the NHS COVID-19 contact tracing app for England and Wales, she contributed to its design, maintenance and evaluation, as well as analysing app data to provide detailed, real-time epidemic insights for UK public health decision making. Her previous work included HIV genetic analysis, developing statistical methods for improving the accuracy and credibility of phylogenetic and transmission tree inference, and network security. See her page for more information.
