Prof. Dr. Oskar Hallatschek, born in Germany, earned his doctorate in Berlin after studying in Heidelberg and Zurich. Following a postdoc at Harvard, he led the Max Planck Research Group on Biological Physics and Evolutionary Dynamics in Göttingen. Since 2013, he has been a faculty member in UC Berkeley’s Physics and IB. His honors include the Simons Investigator, NSF Career, and Humboldt Professor Award.
Each spring, the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics hosts an annual seminar series, featuring talks from experts on the latest research in infectious disease epidemiology and modeling.
Speakers will share their own perspectives and do not speak for Harvard.
