EPIMAT Seminar - Mathematical modelling of infectious diseases: an introduction and two snapshots

18th February 2025 14:00 CET

Speaker

Tom Britton, Stockholm University, Sweden

Abstract

In the talk I will first give some basics for infectious disease modelling and then briefly describe two specific research problems, one theoretical and one more hands on. a) How to optimally allocate preventions in time and magnitude in order to minimize the number of infected?, and b) How many lives were saved by the vaccine the first year of vaccination (2021)? Time permitting I will briefly describe a third problem.
