Physics & Computational Mathematics
Epidemiological Forecasting & Mathematical Biological Modeling Unit
This unit develops predictive epidemiological models, transmission simulations, and computational biological forecasting frameworks that support early warning, intervention planning, and cross-directorate scientific decision-making.
Core Functions
Modeling Capabilities
Transmission Modeling
Builds compartmental, agent-based, and stochastic models to estimate outbreak spread, intervention timing, and operational risk across diverse humanitarian settings.
Biological Systems Forecasting
Integrates biological response variables, environmental signals, and uncertainty analysis to project disease behavior under changing field conditions.
Decision Support Analytics
Translates complex mathematical outputs into scenario planning tools, briefing products, and research support for mission leaders and scientific partners.
Unit Scope
Forecasting for field response
The unit applies mathematical biology, statistical inference, and computational simulation to forecast outbreak trajectories and evaluate intervention strategies before crises escalate.
Its work supports research continuity across STRADA by connecting epidemiological intelligence with physics-informed computation, systems modeling, and operational planning for complex emergencies.
