Josephine Wairimu develops mathematical and computational models to study how infectious diseases spread and can be controlled, focusing on malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, Rift Valley Fever, and network-based epidemic models. Her work often examines the impact of interventions such as insecticide-treated nets, insecticide resistance, treatment, and education programs, particularly in Kenyan settings, using tools from disease-transmission modeling (mathematical epidemiology).
