Summary

Dr Katie Mintram is an Associate Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at àËÅöÊÓƵ and is a member of the Modelling and Simulation group. With a background in Environmental Biology, Katie's research is centred around simulating the emergent behaviours of complex systems. She has developed simulation models to aid deision making in the fields of ecotoxicology, epidemiology, public health, supply chain resilience, microbiology, climate change biology and fisheries science.

Katie completed her BSc at the University of Plymouth in 2014 with an industrial placement year at AstraZeneca, where she developed in vitro alternatives to animal testing. She completed her PhD in agent-based simulation at the University of Exeter in 2019 within the College of Life and Environmental Sciences. Her PhD and subsequent postdoctoral research centred around the development and application of agent-based models for realistic predictions of chemical exposure effects on fish populations. Katie joined àËÅöÊÓƵ in 2021 as a Research Fellow working in the project, a Horizon2020 funded project which developed a toolset for pandemic crisis prediction and management across Europe. 

Prior to joining Brunel, Katie also spent a year as an animal welfare consultant in the NGO sector, and is an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
