I will use some examples from  epidemics  in Africa and the global COVID-19 pandemic to illustrate the role of mathematicians and data scientists  in solving modern public health problems. Note: This is part of the Invitations to Mathematics lecture series given each year in Autumn Semester. Pre-candidacy PhD students can sign up for this lecture series by registering for one or two credit hours of Math 6193 with Professor Nimish Shah.

Title: Mathematical Models of Epidemics

Speaker: Greg Rempala

Abstract: Given recent interest in understanding spread of communicable diseases I will briefly outline the basic ideas of underlying mathematical theory of modeling epidemics. I will use some examples from  epidemics  in Africa and the global COVID-19 pandemic to illustrate the role of mathematicians and data scientists  in solving modern public health problems.
