Community Seminar - 2025-10-01 - Sandra Montes - Optimisation and Dynamic Survival Analysis: Towards a Toolkit for Epidemic Preparedness

For this weeks seminar (Wednesday at 3pm UK time) we have Sandra Montes talking about dynamic survival analysis (lots of overlap with Addressing Critical Gaps in Generation Time Estimation During Outbreaks - grant application - #3 by samabbott ) and automated control methods.

Feel very free to post async questions here.

This recent paper may be of interest (for the optimal control part of the talk): [2508.05290] Exploring epidemic control policies using nonlinear programming and mathematical models

as may this unrelated but interesting work: GitHub - epirecipes/EpiCats: Applied category theory applied to epidemiological models
