The Dynamic Interplay Between Awareness Propagation and Epidemic Spreading by Jacob Grover ’24, Wednesday November 15, 1:00 – 1:50pm, North Science Building 113, Wachenheim

 

Abstract: Digital communications through such tools as smartphones and the internet, have led to increasing vigilance in the population against emerging infectious diseases. In this talk, we will consider a system of ordinary differential equations to understand the impact of human awareness on infectious disease spread. We will find that the dynamics between awareness propagation and epidemic spreading are largely determined by the system’s critical birth rate and awareness efficacy.
