A Mathematical Journey of Disease Spread Models

Speaker:  Bruce Pell

In this talk, I’ll present an overview of my past, present and future research projects that relate to modeling the spread of infectious diseases. Along the way we’ll discuss reasons for why such a task is important and what types of mathematical tools can be used to understand the dynamic spread of diseases. Specific case studies will be presented from previous research projects (Ebola, Zika and Plague) along with current and future projects (COVID-19, pathogen fitness and thermal mismatch curves).
