Biography

Prof. Jim Duggan lectures in the School of Computer Science, and his research expertise centres on the application of system dynamics modelling and data science to enhance public health. He has a PhD in Industrial Engineering and Information Systems, and is a Fellow of Engineers Ireland. 

He is a member of the Irish Epidemiological Modelling Advisory Group (IEMAG), where his role is to develop and deliver epidemiological models to inform operational and policy decision making. He was awarded the 2015 Systems Science Scholar Award by AcademyHealth (USA), and is a member of the World Health Organisation’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN).

Research Interests

My  research focuses on the application of computational methods (modelling, calibration and inference, and data science) to address public health challenges. A strength of this approach has been successful interdisciplinary engagement with public health experts, for example: 
  • Collaboration, through the PANDEM-2 Project, with public health practitioners from across Europe (e.g. Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Romania and Portugal) who must address the challenge of preparedness planning for future pandemics;  
  • An interdisciplinary collaboration with clinicians in the Health Service Executive (HSE) in the design, implementation and test of a new mobile App to support Safety Planning, and the design of A Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of the Safety Planning Mobile App with Individuals Accessing Irish Mental Health Services; 
  • A lengthy engaged research project (2020-2022) with the Irish Epidemiological Modelling Advisory Group, where I contributed as part of a broad-based interdisciplinary team that integrated related expertise from the academic and health sectors. My contribution was the design, implementation of a scenario model used as a basis to advise the Irish Government on COVID-19 responses during the pandemic.

I am a Funded Investigator with the Insight Centre for Data Analytics, and currently have four projects being funded. These include:

  • PANDEM-2  led by the Prof Maire Connolly, School of Medicine), where I lead work package four (Pandemic Preparedness), and am also a member of the Executive Team. 

  • Insight2 ¿ Part of  Research Challenge on  Decision Making, and focuses on novel methods for calibrating data to support infectious disease mitigation and control. 

  • Insight Strategic Fund (50K), which is a cross-institutional initiative (University of Limerick, Technical University of Dublin) to explore modelling across different aggregation levels. We are currently working on agent-based MPox models, and how they can be used to explore optimal policy interventions, including vaccination priorities in the context of scarce resources.
  • HSE SafePlan Project which will fund personnel to support the SafePlan RCT, and also a research assistant to maintain the SafePlan App and support further new features that will be identified as part of the trial feedback.
