ABOUT Evans Omondi

Dr. Evans Omondi is a Mathematical Modeler and Associate Research Scientist in the Data Science Program. He holds a Ph.D. in Biomathematics from Strathmore University (Kenya), an MSc. in Mathematics from Stellenbosch University (South Africa), an MSc. in Mathematical Sciences from AIMS-South Africa in collaboration with Stellenbosch University, and a B.Sc. in Applied Statistics with Computing from the University of Eldoret (Kenya).

Dr. Omondi’s expertise spans infectious disease modeling, spatial statistics, epidemiology, and statistical bio-sciences. He has led and contributed to projects across Sub-Saharan Africa, including modeling the spatial dynamics of leishmaniasis, developing agent-based models for family planning policies, and analyzing demographic transitions in urban informal settlements. His research also extends to malaria, HIV, and neglected tropical diseases, where he applies dynamical systems, stochastic processes, and statistical models to understand disease transmission, progression, and the impact of interventions.

With numerous peer-reviewed publications and international conference presentations, Dr. Omondi integrates data-driven insights with mathematical frameworks to inform evidence-based public health policies. He is passionate about advancing mathematical and statistical modeling to address pressing health challenges in low- and middle-income countries. He is committed to capacity-building and interdisciplinary collaborations that improve health outcomes across the Global South.
