Simulating the Spread of Infectious Disease over Large- Scale Social Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
Bio: I am a first year PhD student in the Computer Science Department at UC Berkeley. I am advised by James Demmel and Armando Fox. My research interests include numerical linear algebra, high performance computing, and programming languages and tools. Application areas of interest include computational materials science and computational epidemiology. I am taking this course to further my knowledge of parallel computing constructs and gain experience writing parallel code, as well as prepare for the Preliminary Exam.

The Risk of Disease to Great Apes: Simulating Disease Spread in Orang-Utan (Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii) and Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) Association Networks
All great ape species are endangered, and infectious diseases are thought to pose a particular threat to their survival. As great ape species vary substantially in social organisation and gregariousness, there are likely to be differences in susceptibility to disease types and spread. Understanding the relation between social variables and disease is therefore crucial for implementing effective...
متن کاملInferring Disease Contact Networks from Genetic Data
The analysis of genetic sequence data collected during disease outbreaks has emerged as a promising new tool for understanding infectious disease dynamics and designing control measures against infectious diseases. Hence, there is a need for statistical methodologies that effectively integrate genetic data with other epidemiological data to perform inference on the underlying disease dynamics. ...
متن کاملSocial networks and the spread of infectious diseases: the AIDS example.
Conceptualizing a population as a set of individuals linked together to form a large social network provides a fruitful perspective for better understanding the spread of some infectious diseases. Data related to AIDS (the acquired immune deficiency syndrome) were used to illustrate the potential usefulness of a network approach in evaluating the infectious agent hypothesis when studying a dise...
متن کاملNetwork based models of infectious disease spread.
It has recently become possible to simulate directly dynamics on very large networks. This paper describes a model of epidemiology on a social network, the Epidemiological Simulation System (EpiSims), and offers general speculation on analyzing disease dynamics on networks. We describe the process of building a realistic social network, describe several different definitions of the network, eac...
متن کاملA Hybrid Model for Disease Spread and an Application to the SARS Pandemic
Pandemics can cause immense disruption and damage to communities and societies. Thus far, modeling of pandemics has focused on either large-scale differential equation models like the SIR and the SEIR models, or detailed micro-level simulations, which are harder to apply at a global scale. This paper introduces a hybrid model for pandemics that considers both global and local spread of infectio...
