Maarten van Wijhe, Associate Professor in applied biostatistics for clinical and public health. My main interests are in historical infectious disease epidemiology, specifically the public health impact of pandemics like the 1918 and 1889 pandemics, but also other epidemic diseases such as scarlet fever and diphtheria. I particularly am interested in investigating the patterns of these diseases, the excess mortality, and how they impacted another. I also have a strong interest in vaccination programme and their effect on the decline of infectious diseases. To do all this research, I have high aims to collect, digitize and transcribe both individual level disease notifications but also aggregated data for research purposes.
