个人简介
胡子祺教授現任公共衞生學院教授,主要研究領域為疾病數學建模與統計分析。其研究旨在開發具實用價值的疾病防控分析模型與策略,研究項目涵蓋新型冠狀病毒病、季節性及流感大流行、手足口病、人類乳突病毒(HPV)、中東呼吸綜合症(MERS)、黃熱病、子宮頸癌、大腸癌及乳腺癌等。胡教授在麻省理工學院獲得運籌學博士學位及化學工程學士學位。

胡教授同時擔任「醫衞大數據深析實驗室」(D24H)董事總經理,領導團隊研發人工智能技術與工具,致力於全球及個人健康保護,重點聚焦於臨床自然語言處理、疫情即時趨勢預測及疫苗猶豫等領域。

作為香港大學首個「大規模開放在線課程」(MOOC)《傳染病學》的創辦總監,胡教授主持的該課程自2014年首次推出以來已吸引逾五萬名學員修讀。此外,他亦擔任兩個「裘槎暑期課程」(疫苗學與疫苗猶豫)的學術總監。

胡教授現為國際期刊《Epidemics》的聯合主編,並擔任《PLOS Computational Biology》與《PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases》副編輯。他獲英國公共衞生學院授予院士榮銜(Fellow of the UK Faculty of Public Health),並於2018至2023年間擔任世界衞生組織「免疫接種與疫苗相關實施研究諮詢委員會」(IVIR-AC)委員。
