Justin Lessler, Running and Evaluating a Multi-team Scenario Modeling Effort for COVID-19: a year and a half of the Scenario Modeling Hub

On August 26, 2022, Justin Lessler will present “Running and Evaluating a Multi-team Scenario Modeling Effort for COVID-19: a year and a half of the Scenario Modeling Hub” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2022-2023 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series.

Lessler is a professor in the Department of Epidemiology researching the dynamics and control of infectious disease, with particular interest in SARS-CoV-2, influenza, cholera and dengue. Justin works on the development and application of statistics, dynamic models and novel study designs to better understand and control infectious disease. In particular, he is interested in creating synergies between infection control practice, data collection and infectious disease dynamics.
