Bhatt-Duchene Group: Computational and Mathematical Global Health
We are a world leading group that focuses on a diverse range of topics. We research at the interface between computer science, mathematics, biology and epidemiology.
We address traditional policy-relevant questions in epidemiology, leveraging new methodologies from statistics and deep learning that can improve prediction and estimation.
We employ contrastive learning to study images in both satellites and medical cases. We also make use of behavior from video for early detection of infections, using a range of deep learning techniques. We explore the evolution protein structures with the latest deep learning tools, among a broad range of upcoming data types relevant to public health, human history, and genomics.
We study renewal, Hawkes and branching processes to model infectious disease data. We focus on the mathematical foundations of these processes, and applied our work on quesetions from economics and health.
The genomic data deluge requires new approaches to disentangle the dominant historical and biological signals in genomic data. We are working on highly computationally efficient approaches of exploring historical signals in genomes, as well as the drivers of genomic novelty in pathogens and their animal hosts.
We are building the mathematical foundations to estimate time 0.
