Dr. Alexander Kirpich is a biostatistician and Assistant Professor in the Department of Population Health Sciences at the School of Public Health, Georgia State University. He earned his undergraduate degree in mathematics from Belarusian State University in 2006, followed by a master’s degree in statistics (2011) and a Ph.D. in biostatistics (2015) from the University of Florida. After successfully defending his dissertation, Dr. Kirpich completed two postdoctoral appointments at the University of Florida, working in distinct laboratories under separate principal investigators. These experiences further strengthened his expertise in infectious disease modeling, expanded his knowledge of bioinformatics, and led to numerous collaborative, health-related projects in which he contributed as a modeler in various capacities.

Dr. Kirpich has been a faculty member at Georgia State University since August 2019. His research focuses on infectious disease modeling, including work on COVID-19, cholera, Legionella, anthrax, HIV, HCV, and mpox. His projects involve forecasting incidence trends, estimating excess mortality, and analyzing viral genomics data. He is also interested in developing advanced methods to improve epidemic forecasting, such as integrating internet search data into modeling frameworks and applying hierarchical clustering to compare patterns across disparate data sources. Dr. Kirpich actively collaborates within the School of Public Health and across Georgia State University, providing quantitative expertise for grant submissions and contributing to interdisciplinary publications. His collaborative research spans a wide range of public health topics, including pediatric intestinal failure, food security and eating behaviors, and smoking cessation initiatives.
