Portrait

Gerardo Chowell is an associate professor and a Second Century Initiative Scholar (2CI) in the School of Public Health at Georgia State University in Atlanta. His research program includes the development and application of quantitative approaches for understanding the transmission dynamics and control of infectious diseases including influenza, Ebola, and dengue fever. His work has appeared in high-impact journals including The New England Journal of Medicine, PLOS Medicine, and BMC Medicine, and has been cited by major media outlets including the Washington Post and TIME magazine.
James (Mac) Hyman has developed and analyzed mathematical models for the transmission of HIV/AIDs, influenza, malaria, dengue fever, chikungunya, and infections. His current focus is to identify approaches where these models can help public health workers be more effective in mitigating the impact of emerging diseases. He was a research scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory for over thirty years, is a past president of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), and now holds the Phillips Distinguished Chair in Mathematics at Tulane University.

Pressestimmen

From the reviews:

"Mathematical and Statistical Estimation Approaches in Epidemiology is a well written book ... . The book is aimed at public health experts, applied mathematicians and scientists in the life and social sciences particularly graduate or advanced undergraduate students. This is an excellent text for those with some knowledge of statistics mathematics ... . it suits the expectations for that category of readers that is written for and will be a useful reference on many bookshelves. (Peter Wludyka and Carmen Masnita Iusan, Technometrics, Vol. 53 (1), February, 2011)
