Background

About Wendy Beauvais

I am a veterinary epidemiologist with methodological strengths in analytic epidemiology (including study design, data collection, data analysis), and exploratory and predictive epidemiology (including mathematical modelling and risk assessment). I am motivated by developing new methodological approaches to global sustainability challenges, particularly: meeting global demands for safe food, controlling zoonotic diseases, combatting antimicrobial resistance, and protecting endangered wildlife. A common theme in my research is dealing with different types of uncertainty, including epistemic uncertainties (lack of knowledge), stochasticity (inherent randomness) and natural variation (often by time and space). I am particularly excited about using simulation tools to synthesize evidence and inform decision-making.
