Recently, our Epidemiological Modeling team published a paper in the American Physical Society’s Physical Review E: statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics journal. The paper — Influence of High-order Nonlinear Fluctuations in the Multivariate Susceptible-infectious-recovered Master Equation — details our work with the susecptible-infectious-recovered epidemiological model, which is the canonical model for the propagation of [...]
The epidemiological team (EMOD) at IV Lab has had a banner of a few weeks. They are putting the final touches on their malaria modeling software and Philip Eckhoff, Principal Investigator, recently had a new paper published in the peer-reviewed open access journal PLOS One. The paper - P. falciparum Infection Durations and Infectiousness Are Shaped by [...]
It’s one thing to have a powerful supercomputer cluster, it’s quite another thing to use it at its full potential. For anyone who has ever chopped wood, you know that slight changes in one’s stance or grip can dramatically increase the amount force the axe can delivered. Similarly, when dealing with a multi-core computer.
Every Thursday evening after hours, the Lab grabs some cold beverages and hangs out together in our own little nerd-vana. Several weeks ago, this took the form of a contest to see who could bring a cup of water to a rolling boil the fastest. It was little surprise that extreme measures were taken to [...]
On January 14, 2010, Philip Eckhoff was honored by the Hertz Foundation. He was nominated for contributions in the field of disease eradication modeling, which he worked on in his spare time while completing his doctorate at Princeton. The prize is not regularly awarded, but offered only in the midst of noteworthy accomplishment related to [...]
