19 May 2020, 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM

Due to popular demand, SEELL brings back the two-part complimentary webinar series recently conducted by Professor Chris Monterola, PhD, “Insights and Policy Implications Driven by Data and Epidemic Models” From his scientific research and statistical modelling development work, he has culled the key points to share with the SEELL Community which can help inform scenario planning for the new normal. The sessions will be moderated by Professor Erika Legara, PhD.

This second part in the series features Professor Chris Monterola as he elucidates the relations of fundamental epidemic models and their corresponding measurable parameters—allowing participants, in the process, to appreciate the models' pros and cons. He will also discuss why understanding the contact network that is driven by urban mobility after a quarantine is lifted is the key to an efficient intervention while waiting for mass vaccination to be feasible.
