Hwayeon Ryu, assistant professor of mathematics, attended the Joint Mathematics Meetings held Jan. 4-7, 2023, in Boston, Massachusetts.
At this conference, Ryu co-organized an American Mathematical Society (AMS) Special Session on “Understanding COVID-19: Three Years of Mathematical Models to Address the Global Pandemic” in which fourteen invited speakers shared ideas on mathematical modeling to address challenges related to understanding COVID-19 spread at the population level and the pathology of the disease at the patient level. The goal was to reveal different modeling techniques used to investigate a wide variety of problems related to COVID-19, ranging from understanding its transmission through societies and the impact of policy changes to the analysis of effective treatments via theoretical quantitative models that are integrated with experimental/clinical data.
