Computational Modeling in Public Health Course Lessons*

In the Fall of 2022, I will be creating and teaching, for the second time, an upper level undergraduate math course, Computational Modeling in Public Health. The course focuses on methods that people have been used to study COVID as well as some modeling techniques for answering questions surrounding the opioid crisis. Mathematically, the main types of [Read More...]

Effect of human behavior on the evolution of viral strains during an epidemic

It is well known in the literature that human behavior can change as a reaction to disease observed in others, and that such behavioral changes can be an important factor in the spread of an epidemic. It has been noted that human behavioral traits in disease avoidance are under selection in the presence of infectious diseases. Here we explore a [Read More...]

Mathematical models of infectious diseases — Consequences of underlying assumptions.*

Mathematical models have been used to study various disease transmission dynamics and control for epidemics. Many of these studies are based on SEIR- types of compartmental models with exponentially distributed stage durations. We examine the underlying assumptions made in some of these model and present examples to illustrate the potential issues associated [Read More...]

Mask, Vaccine, and Misinformation in Covid-19 Pandemic*

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, presents an unprecedented challenge to human health, the economy, and nearly all aspects of our society. Like many of our colleagues, we jumped into Covid-19 modeling, hoping to improve our understanding of the disease spread and mitigation strategies. In 2020 before vaccines were available, masks and social [Read More...]
