Brown Bag Lunch Series: From Genes to Epidemics: Integrating Machine Learning and Mechanistic Models

Bring a lunch and come join the crew as Chenangnon Tovissode presents a mock job talk. His topic is “From Genes to Epidemics: Integrating Machine Learning and Mechanistic Models“. 

In this presentation, Chenangnon will explore two complementary approaches to investigating causal mechanisms in biological and social systems. The first part focuses on uncovering causal pathways from genomic data. The second part incorporates social influences into mechanistic epidemiological models. Finally, Chenangnon will present a graph convolutional neural network framework that integrates mechanistic models with graph-based machine learning.
