Alumni Feature: Comfort Jones

Comfort Jones, from Nigeria, found that her interest in mathematical modelling in addressing public health problems was piqued by the Clinic on Meaningful Modelling of Epidemiological Data (MMED) that was offered during her time at AIMS in 2024. The workshop is a collaboration between AIMS SA and the South African Centre of Excellence in Epidemiological Modelling and Analysis (SACEMA). Comfort's mathematical journey began at the University of Uyo where she graduated with a first-class honours degree in Mathematics. In 2024, she obtained her Structured Master's Degree in Mathematical Science from AIMS with support from the Mastercard Foundation. She was one of the top achievers of the January 2024 cohort. She credits the quality of education and the courses taught at AIMS as having a significant impact on her journey and career path. She is currently enrolled for a MSc Research Fellowship in Epidemiological Modelling with SACEMA at Stellenbosch University. She was alerted of this opportunity through the AIMS network. Her research thesis focuses on the benefits of adding wastewater surveillance as a routine method for infectious diseases, focusing on Hepatitis E.
