Topical Collection on Epidemic Modelling in Honor of Fred Brauer

Submission status
Closed

The collection is open to papers from all areas of epidemiological modelling, defined broadly. It focuses on using mathematical approaches to gain epidemiological understanding or explain epidemiological phenomena.

Topics: deterministic epidemic modelling, stochastic epidemic modelling, network modelling, transmission dynamics analysis.

    Shigui Ruan

    Shigui Ruan received his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Alberta in 1992. He was a Junior Fellow at the Fields Institute in 1992-1993 and a Post-doctoral Fellow at McMaster University in 1993-1994. After being an Assistant and Associate Professor at Dalhousie University from 1994 to 2002, he joined the Department of Mathematics at the University of Miami, Florida, in 2002 where he is now a Full Professor and Cooper Fellow. He is interested in studying nonlinear dynamics of semilinear evolution equations with applications in biology and medicine and in modeling and studying transmission dynamics of infectious diseases.
