Project 3: Social Determinants of Infections Disease Dynamics (SDIDD or Social-Epi)

Working Group leader: Bert Baumgaertner

Group members: Steve Krone, Craig Miller, Ben Ridenhour, Florian Justwan

Originated: Summer 2015

Description:

We develop and analyze epidemiological models of infectious disease to understand how social and behavior factors affect disease dynamics. We work with both analytical models (e.g., ODEs) and generative models (e.g., ABMs).  We also design surveys and behavioral experiments to validate our models.
