Juliane Fonseca de Oliveira, PhD Dr. Oliveira is a junior research mathematician at the Centre for Data and Knowledge Integration for Health (CIDACS). CIDACS is a research centre within the Gonçalo Moniz Institute of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (FIOCRUZ) that focuses on interdisciplinary studies applied to population health through the integration of large health, economic and social data. Juliane is a mathematician and specialist in mathematical modelling of (emergent) infectious diseases. She models the spread and control of diseases in unequal populations. She focuses on finding theoretical and technological solutions that help assess and evaluate control measures, such as non-pharmaceutical interventions and vaccination strategies. She has worked on many health and disease areas, including COVID-19, Tuberculosis (TB), Leprosy, Arboviruses (Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika) and scientific divulgation. Juliane’s research uses big data analysis, epidemiology, statistical and non-linear mathematical modelling to evaluate and increase value in health. Her work aims to alarm factors that may burden healthcare systems, guide decision-makers and reduce health inequalities. In addition, Juliane is an associate member of the Center of Mathematics of the University of Porto. Juliane has a PhD in mathematics (2017) from the University of Porto and Coimbra. She also holds a Bachelor of mathematics from the Federal University of Bahia. She coordinates an interdisciplinary group, and together with the team, she created a user-friendly platform (PAMEpi) that performs in real-time data analytics, modelling, visualisation and scientific communication about infection diseases transmission.
