SUMMARY:A geospatial modeling analysis of travel-time\, bicycles\, and HIV elimination in sub-Saharan Africa: the case of Malawi
DESCRIPTION:UNAIDS has proposed an ambitious strategy for ending the HIV pandemic. Their strategy depends upon achieving a treatment coverage goal of 90% by 2030. However\, distance to healthcare and lack of transportation are major barriers to accessing HIV treatment in SSA. I will use data-based geospatial modeling to determine their potential impact as barriers to elimination in Malawi. I will address two specific questions: How much time would people living with HIV (PLHIV) need to spend travelling to access treatment in order for Malawi to achieve UNAIDS’ goal of 90% coverage? Could providing bicycles to rural communities help eliminate HIV?\nOur results show that it will only be possible to achieve UNAIDS’ 90% coverage goal in Malawi if many of the PLHIV (who have yet to initiate treatment) are willing\, and able\, to spend a great deal of time travelling to access treatment. Additionally\, they show that making bicycles available to PLHIV in rural areas has the potential to make the 90% target goal more attainable\, and hence to help eliminate HIV in Malawi.

SUMMARY:Epidemiological models for Ebola exploring different dynamics
DESCRIPTION:In today’s environment of universal connection and media updates\, we are constantly informed about infectious diseases and the ramifications. We can combat infectious diseases using mathematics to gain insight into diseases dynamics and outbreaks. I will focus primarily on Ebola Virus Disease\, exploring different models focused on capturing various dynamics.\nFirst\, I will present a model whose goal is to illustrate role of education in limiting a potential future Ebola outbreaks in Sudan using data and modeling. Then\, I will introduce a model which captures superspreader dynamics and compare the model for Ebola and Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). In addition to these models I will explain about how I became interested in Mathematical Epidemiology and some of the great programs which have led to my research collaborations.
