General Information
Project Description
Research and development of the SIVWR model, which was constructed under the leadership of my mentor: Dr. Ghosh-Dastidar; and Dr. Suzanne Lenhart of the University of Tennessee.
The SIVWR model was constructed based on the dynamics of cholera disease transmission.
- Week 1:
- This week, I read literatures on mathematical modeling of various diseases in order to be exposed to different modeling methodologies and to comprehend how these models were constructed. Also, I executed my first assignment assigned by our program director.
- Week 2:
- I continued analyzing different modeling methodologies. Indeed, I did use different resources, including YouTube Videos and textbooks on epidemiology.
- Week 3:
- As usual, I was able to meet my mentor for feedbacks and guidance. She was able to determine the elements I need to focus on, based on my current state of mathematical-modeling knowledge.
- Week 4:
- As usual, I continued to explore different modeling methodologies.
Utterly, I was able to understand how various models such as SIR, SEIR, and MSEIR were constructed.
- Week 5:
- Continued analyzing various models mentioned above.
- Week 6:
- SIWR was officially introduced to me by my mentor.
- Week 7:
- Continued analyzing the introduced model.
- Week 8:
- Working on my report on the SIWR model and a poster required for program fulfillment.
