- **Event Description**: Join us for this special Nexus lecture by Professor Tom Britton (Stockholm University)About this EventAbout the lectureIn the talk I will first describe the basics of mathematical epidemic models, and indicate the many extensions that exist. Then I will briefly describe two problems I have worked on recently, inspired by Covid-19: How should a lockdown be optimized in time and magnitude? And how many lives were saved by the arrival of the Covid-19 vaccine?About the speakerTom Britton is a professor at the Department of Mathematics at Stockholm University where he holds the Cramér chair. His research focuses on applied probability and statistical methodology with applications in biology and medicine, in particular infectious disease outbreaks. He has published 3 research monographs and close to 100 papers on Epidemic modeling and analyses. In the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic he recorded a 45 minute math lecture about epidemic models which received over 100k views.Schedule3-4pm: Presentation by Prof Tom Britton in Room 4082, Anita B.
