Modeling and Simulation of Infectious Diseases
The course emphasizes elementary modeling, numerical methods and their implementation on physical problems motivated by real-world phenomena involving various aspects of infection diseases. This course is broken into five parts: part 1-modeling and simulation of the infection zone from respiratory emission, part 2-rapid simulation of viral decontamination efficacy with uv irradiation, part 3-an agent-based computational framework for simulation of global pandemic and social response, part 4-machine learning and parameter identification, part 5-deep dive into advanced models: continuum mechanics, solid-fluid interaction and electromagnetism.
Topics
- Comprised of an introduction to essential mathematical modeling and simulation tools needed for various aspects of the modeling and simulation of infectious diseases. Six capstone projects, drawn from Parts 1-5 are assigned, applying the modeling and simulation tools.
