Abstract:
| | This special session will focus on the field of epidemiological modeling of pandemics. The study of how best to model a pandemic exploded in 2019 as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold. New ideas and model adaptations have not slowed in the years since. Modelers in a wide range of backgrounds work together and work in parallel to develop frameworks focused on analyzing past trends, understanding our current relationship with the virus, and extrapolating best practices for the future. This sudden need for epidemiological modeling worldwide has produced many advances in modeling capabilities and applications. This special session serves to bring together many who have worked to answer the driving questions of the field as well as those interested in the topic in order to build a forum of rich conversation where both senior and young researchers may gain a better understanding of the recent contributions to the field and its future trajectories. |
