Rajan Chakrabarty
- Spread of COVID-19: Modeling studies (Payton Beeler)
The Chakrabarty group has developed an age-stratified metapopulation model to predict the epidemic dynamics across the 50 U.S. States, DC, and Puerto Rico. This model forecasts state-wise statistics that include:- Epidemic Curve – time evolution of infected population
- Number of ICU and hospital beds needed
- Estimated number of unreported active COVID-19 cases
- School closures
- Business closures
- Distancing elder
- Antiviral Drug Development Studies
