Rate My Professor Jeffrey Imai-Eaton

Imai-Eaton's research specializes in developing mathematical models, statistical methods, and surveillance tools to characterize HIV epidemic trends, transmission dynamics, and demographic impacts, with a particular emphasis on sub-Saharan Africa. He maintains a longstanding interest in demographic surveillance, population cohort studies, and techniques for collecting and analyzing longitudinal data. Key collaborations include the Manicaland Centre for Public Health Research in eastern Zimbabwe and the ALPHA Network of population HIV cohort studies. As co-chair of the UNAIDS Reference Group on Estimates, Modelling and Projections, he provides scientific guidance to UNAIDS and partners on data, methods, and tools for quantifying the global HIV epidemic. Recent publications include "Appraising the HIV prevention cascade methodology to improve HIV prevention targets: Lessons learned from a general population pilot study in east Zimbabwe" (2026, PLOS Glob Public Health); "Age, sex-and what else? Rethinking priorities to close gaps in the HIV care cascade" (2026, J Int AIDS Soc); "Individual and population-level risk factors for new HIV infections among adults in Eastern and Southern Africa" (2026, Nat Commun); "Identifying priority populations for HIV interventions using acquisition and transmission indicators: a combined analysis of 15 mathematical models from ten African countries" (2026, Lancet HIV); and "Pregnancy reporting and biases in under-five mortality in three African HDSSs" (2025, Popul Stud).
