Description:

Mathematical epidemiology, the modeling of the spread of epidemics, has a distinguished history and continues to be a very active field, with fruitful interaction of mathematical theory, computation, and data analysis. This mini-symposium will include presentations of recent results related to the mathematical modeling and theory of epidemics, and provide a forum for discussion among researchers. Issues to be addressed include control measures for epidemics, population immunity and vaccination, heterogeneity of populations, and parameter inference for epidemic models.

Diversity Statement:

We are pleased to announce a mini-symposium featuring a diverse group of scholars dedicated to advancing the field of epidemiology. Our panel includes Nir Gavish (Organizer), a white male; two female Korean researchers, Kyeongah Nah and Byul Nim Kim; and a white male scholar, Amit Huppert. We believe that diversity in thought, background, and experience enriches our academic community and fosters innovative solutions to complex problems.
