Abstract:
Many different kinds of networks are important for disease transmission, including mobility networks coupling different spatial locations, contact networks between individuals, and online networks shaping public health behaviors. Networks additionally change over time, including in response to disease progression and perceived disease risk, which in turn affects disease dynamics. I will discuss some modeling approaches, theory, and data on these topics.
