AARMS COVID-19 Seminar: Tom Hurd (McMaster)
From Agent Based Infectious Disease Models to Compartment Models There are lots of potential agent based approaches to COVID modelling, and it is of interest to try to connect them to more standard compartment ODE models. To what extent can any ODE model capture the properties of a given ABM? The Inhomogeneous Random Social Network (IRSN) framework I have developed recently provides an explicit setting where such questions can be explored mathematically. The IRSN approach starts with a finite number…

Junior Math and Computer Science Camp
This week-long day camp is an opportunity for students entering grade 5 or 6 in the Annapolis Valley to participate in fun and enriching science-based activities with Acadia faculty and students to develop their curiosity and enjoyment of math and computer science. It represents an important piece of a multi-year plan to develop the mathematical skills of students in the Annapolis Valley by bringing young students into the Acadia University outreach program. This will begin the process of positively engaging…

Spatial-Temporal Modeling of COVID-19 Mortality Risk in Toronto, Canada In this talk, a spatial-temporal model for modeling georeferenced COVID -19 mortality data in Toronto, Canada will be presented. A range of factors and spatial-temporal terms are incorporated into the model. The non-linear and interactive effects of the neighborhood-level factors, i.e., population density and average of income, are modeled as a two-dimensional spline smoother. The change of spatial pattern over time is modeled as a three-dimensional tensor product smoother. By fitting…

The Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical Sciences (AARMS) will host its third Industrial Problem Solving Workshop (IPSW) in a purely online format from from July 26 to August 6 About IPSWs The main goals of an IPSW are to build connections between researchers in industry, non-profit organizations, and academia. Organizations based in Atlantic Canada and elsewhere present problems related to their interests, and participants will break into teams to explore solutions to these problems. The problems come from…

Modelling the dynamics of COVID-19 epidemic Managing the COVID-19 pandemic has become the top priority since its inception in late 2019. Modelling the development of the epidemic is a crucial step for governments to make effective public health policies. In this talk, we will discuss some challenges of studying the dynamics of the COVID-19 epidemic as well as our recent ideas that cut directly to the heart of these challenges. More information about this seminar series. This is a virtual…
