Our faculty member Joseph Tien, an expert in mathematical models of infectious disease dynamics, was interviewed recently by the Cincinnati Enquirer on his work on models for the spread of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). 

 

Professors Tien, joined by Professor Grzegorz Rempala, the Interim Director of the Mathematical Biosciences Institute (MBI) till 2017 and a current Scientific Advisor for MBI, discussed how the OSU models differ from other influential models such as those of the Imperial College or University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.

 

Professors Tien and Rempala, both members of OSU's Infectious Diseases Institute, discuss how the OSU models account for Ohio-specific inputs.
