Sharing new work w/ Jeffrey Shaman on forecast method for #COVID19, with potential applications to other infectious diseases.

Essentially, to support more proactive planning, we propose a set of approaches that substantially improve COVID-19 forecast accuracy with lead time up to 6 months.

Funding from NIH/NIAID, CSTE & CDC, and CDC’s CFA.

Hi All!

Trying things out here.

As an #introduction, I’m an assistant professor at Columbia University’s Epidemiology Dept. I trained in engineering, compute science, and infectious disease modeling. Now working in #PublicHealth, I use modeling methods in combination with health data to help understand mechanisms governing disease systems and devise prevention/intervention strategies. I study infectious disease transmission (#COVID19, #influenza, #measles, #Ebola) & early-onset #cancer.
