Assistant Research Scientist in Epidemiology, University of Michigan

Andrew Brouwer is mathematical epidemiologist and modeler. He is currently an Assistant Research Scientist in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Michigan. He received his BA in mathematics and chemistry and MA in mathematics from the SUNY College at Potsdam (2009) and his MS in environmental science and engineering from Clarkson University (2011). Andrew also earned his MS in applied and interdisciplinary mathematics (2013), MA in statistics (2015), and PhD in applied and interdisciplinary mathematics (2015) at the University of Michigan. He was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Michigan (2015-16) prior to joining the faculty as a research faculty member.

Andrew uses mathematical and statistical modeling to address public health problems. As a mathematical epidemiologist, he works on a wide range of topics (mostly related to infectious diseases and cancer prevention and survival) using an array of computational and statistical tools. Past work has addressed transmission of disease through the environment, as well as the epidemiology of the human papillomavirus (HPV) and HPV-related cancers. Rigorous consideration of parameter identifiability, parameter estimation, and uncertainty quantification are underlying themes in Andrew’s work.
