Su Kang
Senior Research Officer
PhD
Dr. Su Yun Kang, PhD, is a dedicated statistician specializing in spatial and temporal modelling, epidemiology, and Bayesian methodologies. She earned her PhD in Statistics from Queensland University of Technology (QUT), where her research focused on advancing Bayesian spatio-temporal modelling techniques to understand cancer incidence patterns in Queensland.
Following her doctoral studies, Dr. Kang worked as a research associate at QUT, where she contributed to developing innovative model-based adaptive monitoring strategies for spatio-temporal data within the Great Barrier Reef monitoring program.
In 2015, Dr. Kang joined the Malaria Atlas Project at the University of Oxford as a postdoctoral researcher, focusing on disease modelling, malaria epidemiology, and control strategies. Today, as a Senior Research Officer at the Kids Research Institute Dr. Kang continues to contribute to geospatial modelling methodologies, providing actionable insights into disease dynamics and informing interventions. Her research interests include spatial and spatio-temporal disease modelling, infectious disease epidemiology, Bayesian methodologies, and stochastic processes.
