The Bolyai Institute of
the University of Szeged
organizes the intensive course
for graduate and PhD students
Szeged Summer School on
Mathematical Epidemiology
on August 4-7, 2014
in the framework of the IPA HUSRB/1203/221/024 project
"Non-Standard Forms of Teaching Mathematics and Physics".
Bolyai
Building, 1 Aradi vértanúk tere, Szeged, Hungary
Organizers: Attila
Dénes, Gergely Röst, János Karsai (project manager)
Audience: We welcome students in mathematics or other related fields (biology, computer science, public health).
Prerequisites: A strong interest in mathematical modelling and applications.
Conditions:
Description: We organize a four-day-long interdisciplinary summer school with twenty students at the beginning of August. Besides mathematicians, we expect the application of biologists, pharmacists, computer scientists etc. A crash course on the basic principles of mathematical modelling takes places on the first day, providing an overview of mathematical and computer tools for the modelling of the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases. On the second and third days, students form diverse groups based on interdisciplinarity, and work on miniprojects on different epidemiological problems with an instructor. On the last day they prepare presentations and report the results achieved in the preceding days.
Tentative program:
Day 1: classes (introduction to biomathematics, epidemiology, advanced biomathematics, introduction to Mathematica)
Day 2-3: group work on student projects
Day 4: preparation of presentations, presentation of results
Lecturers:
Foundations of epidemiology I., Péter Doró (Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Szeged)
Foundations of epidemiology, Katalin Krisztalovics (National Center for Epidemiology, Budapest)
Infectious disease vectors, Attila Trájer (Department of Limnology, University of Pannonia, Veszprém)
Compartmental models, Gergely Röst (Bolyai Institute, University of Szeged)
Spatial spread, Xingfu Zou (University of Western Ontario, London, Canada)
Computer simulation tools, János Karsai (Bolyai Institute, University of Szeged)
Project instructors: Maria Vittoria Barbarossa, Attila Dénes, Ábel Garab, Diána H. Knipl, Zsolt Vizi)
