Andrew J. Tatem

Andrew J. Tatem's indexed work centers on spatial demography and high-resolution population mapping, most visibly through WorldPop, an open-data platform for gridded population estimates, which he led as first author and which underpins much of his later output. Related senior-author studies apply machine learning to disaggregating census data into gridded population surfaces and use mobile phone records to capture dynamic population distributions, while his work on non-pharmaceutical interventions to contain COVID-19 in China extends these mapping approaches into epidemic response. Earlier first-author papers on global transport networks and infectious disease spread established the mobility-and-disease thread running through this portfolio. Beyond the focus list, Tatem contributed as a middle author to a synthesis of infectious disease in an era of global change and to projections of past and future spread of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus
