This $108,131 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will fund research at Duke University to establish a new efficient simulation method for assessing rare but highly consequential epidemic events. The project aims to identify key risk factors in virus-spreading interactions that can facilitate large outbreaks, using disease models similar to COVID-19 and HIV as case studies. The research will provide improved...
This $170,566 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) supports the development and delivery of an innovative mathematical modeling framework to integrate public health policy, public opinion dynamics, and epidemic outcomes. The project aims to establish a detailed, integrated system that captures the complex feedback among public health policies, dynamic public opinions, and...
This $133,182 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports the development of new point-process algorithms for modeling infectious disease threats over varying temporal and spatial scales. Specifically, the funding will be used to derive expectation maximization algorithms to infer probabilistic transmission networks for contact tracing and outbreak source detection. Multivariate Hawkes processes will be formulated to...
