Disease spread modelling
Although currently, disease spread modelling is currently a popular topic, it has been present in science for years. Starting from the differential-equations-based model presented by Bernoulli in the 18th century, through compartmental models to dynamic human mobility simulations, this presentation shows why the disease spread modelling is a fast-evolving discipline with a long history and a bright future. This presentation demonstrates in practice how disease spread models work, building up from the simple model up to more complex solutions. Finally, it shows how evolving science of human mobility can contribute to disease spread modelling.
