Date: Saturday, March 9, 2024
Aproximate time: 8:30 - 3:30
The SIAM student chapters of baby直播app are hosting their 20th annual regional student conference on applied mathematics for all schools along the Front Range. This event will allow students from different universities in the area to see what is being done in this field and promote interest in applied mathematics in general. This event is open to both undergraduates and graduate students.
All speakers and conference attendees should fill out a formso we can keep you updated on any changes.
Location
This will be an in-person conference. Student speakers and attendees will attend in person on the CU Denver Auraria campus in the north classroom. Please find the directions here.

2023 SIAM Conference Keynote Speaker
Speaker
Dr. Daniel Larremore
Title
"Countermeasures for Infectious Diseases"
Abstract
For the applied mathematician , both vaccination and testing are fascinating infectious disease countermeasures. Why? First, their impact depends on how and when you use them, meaning that (i) their value is connected to a dynamics and (ii) there are associated optimization problems for their usage. Second, it鈥檚 extremely difficult to directly estimate the effectiveness of either countermeasure at a population scale from empirical data, elevating the value of mathematical models that can predict impact from first principles. In this talk, I鈥檒l introduce and discuss such models for both vaccination and testing in the context of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza A, and SARS-CoV-2, alongside critical optimization problems: who should get the first doses of a scarce vaccine? And, how should we use the new wave of at-home rapid antigen tests for maximum impact? Finally, we鈥檒l reflect on how our understanding of the answers to these questions has changed since early 2020, and highlight a few other interesting open problems in the study of infectious disease countermeasures.
baby直播app the Speaker
Dr. Daniel Larremore is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and the BioFrontiers Institute at the University of baby直播app Boulder. He is also an affiliate of the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of baby直播app Boulder, and is a member of the external baby直播app at the Santa Fe Institute and in the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. His research develops mathematical methods using novel combinations of networks, dynamical systems, and statistical inference to solve problems in two main areas: infectious disease epidemiology and computational social science. Prior to joining the University of baby直播app baby直播app, he was an Omidyar Fellow at the Santa Fe Institute 2015-2017 and a post-doctoral fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health 2012-2015. He obtained his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of baby直播app Boulder in 2012, and holds an undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis. He is the recipient of the Erd艖s鈥揜茅nyi Prize from the Network Science Society and the Alan T. Waterman Award from the National Science Foundation.
