This innovative textbook brings together modern concepts in mathematical epidemiology, computational modeling, physics-based simulation, data science, and machine learning to understand one of the most significant problems of our current time, the outbreak dynamics and outbreak control of COVID-19. It teaches the relevant tools to model and simulate nonlinear dynamic systems in view of a global pandemic that is acutely relevant to human health. If you are a student, educator, basic scientist, or medical researcher in the natural or social sciences, or someone passionate about big data and human health: This book is for you! It serves as a textbook for undergraduates and graduate students, and a monograph for researchers and scientists. It can be used in the mathematical life sciences suitable for courses in applied mathematics, biomedical engineering, biostatistics, computer science, data science, epidemiology, health sciences, machine learning, mathematical biology, numerical methods, and probabilistic programming. This book is a personal reflection on the role of data-driven modeling during the COVID-19 pandemic, motivated by the curiosity to understand it.

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to computational epidemiology, highlighting its major methodological paradigms throughout the development of the field while emphasizing the needs for a new paradigm shift in order to most effectively address the increasingly complex real-world challenges in disease control and prevention. Specifically, the book presents the basic concepts, related computational models, and tools that are useful for characterizing disease transmission dynamics with respect to a heterogeneous host population. In addition, it shows how to develop and apply computational methods to tackle the challenges involved in population-level intervention, such as prioritized vaccine allocation. A unique feature of this book is that its examination on the issues of vaccination decision-making is not confined only to the question of how to develop strategic policies on prioritized interventions, as it further approaches the issues from the perspective of individuals, offering a well integrated cost-benefit and social-influence account for voluntary vaccination decisions. One of the most important contributions of this book lies in it offers a blueprint on a novel methodological paradigm in epidemiology, namely, systems epidemiology, with detailed systems modeling principles, as well as practical steps and real-world examples, which can readily be applied in addressing future systems epidemiological challenges. The book is intended to serve as a reference book for researchers and practitioners in the fields of computer science and epidemiology. Together with the provided references on the key concepts, methods, and examples being introduced, the book can also readily be adopted as an introductory text for undergraduate and graduate courses in computational epidemiology as well as systems epidemiology, and as training materials for practitioners and field workers.

Mathematical modeling plays a key role in helping us understand disease dynamics, answer counterfactual questions, and evaluating intervention strategies. This dissertation focuses on the utilization of computational tools to tackle challenges in public health, specifically in controlling and managing two of the high-mortality infectious diseases, Plasmodium falciparum malaria and COVID-19. I present an approach to estimate antimalarial drug efficacies for unobserved Plasmodium falciparum genotypes. This drug-by-genotype table allows mathematical models of drug resistance evolution to simulate the competition among any P.falciparum genotypes in any possible combination of available antimalarial drugs. I then use these estimates along with survey data on treatment-seeking behavior and drug choice to investigate the doubling time of kelch13 resistant genotypes in Sub-Saharan Africa. Kelch13 mutations which confer resistance to artemisinin have emerged as a major concern, threatening the efficacy of artemisinin-based combination therapies, especially in high malaria burden Sub-Sahara African countries. By assessing the risk of kelch13 variants being imported and selected for in this region, we can then explore drug resistance management strategies to slow their spread while increasing treatment access. The second half of this dissertation focuses on COVID-19. I evaluate various SARS-CoV-2 vaccine allocations to determine the optimal strategy to prevent the most number of COVID-19 deaths and hospitalizations for Rhode Island and Massachusetts under low, medium, and high transmission scenarios. In the last research chapter, I show how we can harness rich multi-dimensional data streams using mathematical model and statistical inference to estimate SARS-CoV-2 population immunity and attack rates in three southern New England states of the US. Being able to monitor these key epidemiological quantities in real-time will provide us with valuable insights into the population's susceptibility and help evaluate the effectiveness of various public health interventions.
