The mission of the Center for Computational Epidemiology and Response Analysis (CeCERA) is to bring together researchers and practitioners with diverse expertise to solve challenging problems in population health and epidemiology through the development and application of computational methods.
Ongoing research at the Computational Epidemiology Research Laboratory includes:
- RE-PLAN: Evidence-Based Response Planning
- Computational Methods for Quantifying Regional Ebola-Specific Resource Coverage
- Modeling Disease Spread in Mass Gatherings
- Modeling Epidemic Progression in Non-Homogenous Populations
Previous research topics at the Computational Epidemiology Research Laboratory includes:
- The Power of Disgust: Modeling the Effects of Disease Avoidant Behavior
- Using Bayesian Networks to Identify Causal Relationships to the Incidence of Chronic Disease
- Utilization of urban green spaces by bumble bees (Bombus spp.) in Denton County
