Dr Adam KucharskiProfessor of Epidemiology and Expert in Mathematical Modelling and AI

Dr Adam Kucharski is a distinguished mathematician and epidemiologist holding a Professorship at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. As a TED Senior Fellow and the co-founder and CTO of the AI startup WholeSum, he explores the intersection of statistical rigour and text analysis. His work centres on decoding the mathematical patterns governing how ideas, viruses, and financial trends propagate through society. He was notably awarded the Adams Prize by the University of Cambridge for his significant contributions to epidemiological methods, an honour previously bestowed upon scientific icons like James Clerk Maxwell. Throughout his career, Dr Kucharski has advised high-profile organisations including Meta, SpaceX, the BBC, and the Premier League on data and immunity research. He is the author of acclaimed works such as The Rules of Contagion and Proof: The Uncertain Science of Uncertainty, which examine how audiences can navigate misinformation and improve decision-making in unpredictable environments. His research into social networks and infectious outbreaks has been featured extensively in the Financial Times, Wired, and the New York Times, making him a prominent voice on the mechanics of modern contagion. An authority on the science of risk and prediction, Dr Kucharski is booked for his ability to translate complex data into clear frameworks for future planning. He provides organisations with essential clarity on managing modern crises and the evolving role of artificial intelligence in analysis. On stage, Dr Adam Kucharski is best known for talks on Science, Artificial Intelligence, Crisis Management and Risk & Risk Management. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room. Their work resonates with leaders across Health & Wellbeing, Science & Research and Technology, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy. Dr Adam Kucharski is regularly booked for Business Speaker and Conference Speaker, adapting tone, length and format to suit the event — from a 20-minute opener to a full conference keynote with Q&A.
