Abstract
From the 1930s through the 1940s, Lowell Reed and Wade Hampton used mathematical models and mechanical epidemic simulators as research tools. Since that time, modeling has become an integral part of epidemiology and public health. Models have been used for explanatory and inferential purposes, as well as in planning and implementing public health responses. In this talk, I will review the history of modeling of infectious disease dynamics over the past 100 years, identify trends in model development and discuss strategies for sudden testing based on dynamical model.
Speaker Intro
Dr Thomas Wetere Tulu received his PhD from Harbin Institute of Technology(HIT) in Engineering Mathematics and worked at City University of Hong Kong(Hong Kong), Yildiz Technical University(Turkey), University of Macau(Macau), China CDC(Beijing), Addis Ababa University(Ethiopia), Addis Ababa Science & Technology University(Ethiopia) and Mekelle University(Ethiopia). His favorite quote is: " It is only through mathematics that we can thoroughly understand what true science is." - Augustus Comte
