Biography

Greer completed her PhD in infectious disease ecology at Arizona State University, and postdoctoral training at the Hospital for Sick Children.[1][2] Previously, she was an assistant professor at the University of Toronto's Dalla Lana School Of Public Health, and held a Senior Mathematician role in the Centre for Communicable Diseases and Infection Control at the Public Health Agency of Canada.[1][2]

Greer's research involves developing computer simulation models to identify the effective surveillance and control strategies for preventing infectious disease outbreaks.[3] During the COVID-19 pandemic, Greer led various research efforts, including a survey of 4,981 Canadians in May 2020 to understand attitudes and behaviours towards the Canadian COVID-19 public health response, which found that more than half were unable to self-isolate and stay home from work when necessary.[4][5] Greer has spoken about different aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including COVID-19 testing, in-person learning in schools, and public health practices, for multiple media outlets.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11]

In October 2020, Greer received a Minister of Colleges and Universities Award of Excellence by Minister Ross Romano.[12][13] This award recognizes Greer's dedication to the local community, post-secondary students and the post-secondary sector during the pandemic.[12][13]

Greer has published over 100 academic publications, which have been cited over 2,000 times, resulting in an h-index and i10-index of 23 and 36 respectively.[14]
