Research Interests
Public Health, Epidemiology, and Epidemiologic modeling as well as Social network construction, graph measures, and dynamic networks.Bryan is currently working on the following projects with his advisors Dr. Chris Barrett and Dr. Stephen Eubank:
- MIDAS
- CDC DSIDE
- DTRA - dIDACtic
- in silico surveillance - providing synthetic surveillance data for testing epidemic detection algorithms
- Epidemic distributions - how graph topology shapes the probability and size of epidemics
- Dissecting Disease Dynamics - investigation of local effects of network topology and an individuals risk of infection
