Spatio-temporal modelling and dynamics of Zoonotic diseases
Understanding of zoonotic disease dynamics through the lens of spatio-temporal modeling. My research focuses on applying Point Pattern Process to capture the spatial heterogeneity of disease transmission. A key aspect is to explore the bifurcation phenomena within these dynamic systems. By integrating spatial analysis with numerical tools, my work contributes to developing more effective surveillance, intervention and mitigation strategies to combat the growing threat of emerging zoonotic diseases.
Sanaz Gholizadeh Ph.D. Candidate - Sep 2021 -
She works at the intersection of network science and biomathematics, employing dynamical systems analysis and network modeling to study the impact of human behavior and social interactions on the spreading of infectious diseases. Her research examines the implications of these interactions for public health, particularly in understanding the dynamics of disease spread for prevention, mitigation and control. Currently, she is also one of the organizers of the OMNI-REUNIS Super Spreader Seminar Series.
Yi Tan Ph.D. Candidate - Sep 2019 -
Her research interests include: Spillover Modelling and Dynamics in Multi-host Pathogens Transmission, Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems; Stochastic Systems, Stability and Biological Applications; Infectious disease modeling.
Hamed Babazadeh Ph.D. Candidate - Jan 2019 -
trained in mechanical engineering, and worked as a designer and consultant, Hamed’s interest lies in developing mathematical platforms using dynamical systems to explain interactions between an individual and environment. He is currently revisiting the measures describing the condition of mind which expresses satisfaction with the thermal environment, known as “thermal comfort” in the building industry. He is examining the possibility of crafting a more flexible notion of thermal comfort to improve the well-being of occupants, reduce the energy use of buildings, and ultimately elevate the notion of comfort to pleasure.
Bing Hu Ph.D. Candidate - Sep 2015 -
Theory and applications of stochastic dynamical system; Modeling, analyzing and evaluating the impact of climate change on vector population and transmission of vector-borne diseases; Mosquitoes and Mosquito-borne diseases.
