FEFFERMAN LAB

Our lab is interested in the mathematical modeling of infectious disease dynamics, especially how individual behaviors and contact patterns cause different outcomes at the level of the population. Our work is both theoretical, developing new mathematical methods, and applied, employing a diversity of modeling techniques to explore best practical methods for public health interventions. We focus not only on health outcomes, but also issues of economic impacts and/or societal stability. Lastly, we are interested in novel methods for biosurveillance and outbreak detection and how best to employ surveillance systems with epidemiological modeling to achieve the most efficient preparedness and intervention strategies... Our lab works on any interesting challenge involving mathematical modeling, life sciences, and/or self-organizing systems. We love tackling a diversity of problems. As a research group, we are aligned by our perspectives and our excitement, even if we come from different..
