Lukas Engelmann

I am a Chancellor’s Fellow and Senior Lecturer in the History and Sociology of Biomedicine at the University of Edinburgh. I lead the Epidemy Lab (http://epidemy.org), which is concerned with the history and present of epidemiological reasoning in the twentieth century. The lab's research activities are funded by an ERC Starting Grant since 2020 and by the British Academy since 2022. My first book, Mapping AIDS, was published with Cambridge University Press in 2018 and considers the visual and medical history of AIDS/HIV. I also published a co-authored monograph with Christos Lynteris, Sulphuric Utopias, with MIT Press 2020, which tells the technological history of fumigation and the political history of maritime sanitation at the turn of the twentieth century.
