About me

I am Steven Abrams, a biostatistician and medical statistician working on infectious disease epidemiology and public health.

I am an assistant professor at Hasselt University (UHasselt), within the Data Science Institute and the Interuniversity Institute for Biostatistics and Statistical Bioinformatics (I-BioStat), and an associate professor at the Global Health Institute at the University of Antwerp, Belgium.

My research develops statistical and mathematical methods to understand how infections spread, how immunity changes over time, and how vaccination and other interventions can protect public health. My methodological interests include survival analysis, serological modelling and individual heterogeneity.

For institutional information, see my UHasselt profile and University of Antwerp profile.
