Congratulations to Associate Professor Hannah Clapham on her promotion to Associate Professor with retrospective effect from 1 January 2026.
Associate Professor Clapham serves as Director of the Centre for Epidemic Research and Modelling (CERM) and Programme Leader for Infectious Diseases at SSHSPH. Since joining the School in 2020, she has made significant contributions to advancing the scientific understanding of infectious disease dynamics and control, particularly in the contexts of dengue, COVID-19, and Japanese encephalitis. Her work on mathematical modelling of dengue vaccination strategies in Singapore, as well as her pivotal role in COVID-19 policy modelling that informed Singapore’s Ministry of Health (MOH), exemplifies the application of rigorous quantitative methods to real-world public health challenges.
In recognition of her contributions to Singapore’s pandemic response, Associate Professor Clapham was conferred the Singapore Public Administration Medal (Bronze) (COVID-19) in 2022. Her work has also elevated the international profile of NUS and Singapore, including serving as a key advisor to the World Health Organization (WHO) on dengue vaccine policies.
The School extends its warmest congratulations to Associate Professor Clapham on this well-deserved achievement and looks forward to her continued contributions to public health research and policy.
