Since the epidemic outbreak in China our research group has directed most of its energy and efforts toward analyzing this critical situation for the societies.
I. OUR WORK
Current work directions
- We are studying the epidemic phenomena at different levels: the population level, but also at the small contact network level. More results will be announced soon.
- Regarding the tools we are employing: there is first the more straightforward direction of using epidemic modeling, however we use also (epidemic) model-agnostic methods that are more data- and ML-oriented.
- ONADAP is a research project that tries to produce practical solutions for hospital monitoring and decision making during a period such as the recent pandemic.
