Dr. Israel Ukawuba

Dr. Israel Ukawuba is an infectious disease researcher, specializing in the field of infectious disease epidemiology and applied modeling. With a strong passion for public health solutions, Dr. Ukawuba employs mathematical models to advance the development of effective strategies for infectious disease control. His primary focus lies in understanding the impact of environmental factors on infectious disease health outcomes, particularly those of malaria transmission.

Currently, Dr. Israel Ukawuba plays a crucial role within the Analytics and Intervention Modeling group, where he is actively involved in methodological development and the application of modeling tools to support malaria control-related initiatives. Notably, his recent research contributions have been instrumental in the creation of a dynamic model framework for incorporating meteorological and hydrological variables, as well as historical interventions to improve retrospective assessments of the effectiveness of malaria control measures such as Long-Lasting insecticide-treated bednets (LLINs) and Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS).
