New models can help hospitals stay ahead of COVID-19 surges Optimization models will help hospital systems better manage critical resources if coronavirus cases spike this fall and winter CREDIT:GETTY IMAGES By Catherine Graham /Published Oct 27 Coronavirus cases are trending up in a number of states, forecasting a fall surge that could push hospitals to capacity […]
Lauren Gardner, associate professor in the Department of Civil and Systems Engineering and co-director of the Center for Systems Science and Engineering, is joining scientists at Scripps Research and UCLA to develop new methods for understanding how and why the current coronavirus and future pandemics spread. The team plans to construct massive databases of international […]
Congratulations to CaSE Associate Professor Lauren Gardner who recently received a Rapid Response Research (RAPID) grant from the National Science Foundation to support the management and development of the COVID-19 online interactive dashboard hosted by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE). The dashboard was first released publicly on January 22, 2020 to visualize […]
Lauren Gardner, associate professor in the Department of Civil and Systems Engineering, recently has worked with a team of researchers at CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, Queensland University of Technology, and Queensland Health to develop a new tool to predict the global spread of human infectious diseases, like dengue, and track them to their destination. […]
A new study ranks the US counties at highest risk of a measles outbreak, with the areas surrounding Chicago, Los Angeles and Miami topping the list.
America’s infrastructure is failing, earning a D-plus from the American Society of Civil Engineers in 2017. What does this mean for coastal regions in the path of storms like Hurricane Florence, which are bigger, slower, and bring more rain?
On May 23. 2018, Tak Igusa, professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, along with his collaborator Johnathon Ehsani, assistant professor in the Bloomberg School of Public Health, presented to the Board Members and staff of the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) on the topic of the ethics of autonomous vehicle testing. Their presentation focused […]
Congratulations to Assistant Professor Sauleh Siddiqui, who has been selected to receive one of thirty-two 2018 Johns Hopkins Catalyst Awards. Initiated in 2015, these grant awards of up to $75,000 support the promising research and creative endeavors of early career faculty with the goal of launching them on a path to a sustainable and rewarding academic career. The […]
Congratulations to Professor Sauleh Siddiqui, who recently received funding from the National Science Foundation. Prof. Siddiqui will work with Prof. Benjamin Zaitchik (Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences) to construct a systems-based modeling framework that captures local-scale to national-scale food, energy, and water dynamics in a changing climate. According to the award documents, “the framework will […]
Congratulations to Prof. Sauleh Siddiqui, who, as part of a cross-divisional team, recently received a Johns Hopkins Discovery Award.
