Event description: 

The Computation and Society Initiative welcomes Professor Ed Kaplan (SOM, Public Health, Engineering), an expert on the spread and control of infectious disease, to discuss his perspective on COVID and his recent work serving as a modeling expert on a range of projects supporting the university, Yale New Haven Hospital, and the state. Problems have included crowd-capping, hospital surge planning, timing decisions (when to stop and when to re-start), and scenario analyses to assess the impacts of alternative interventions, among other applications.

Professor Kaplan’s event is the first in a Computation and Society conversation series. In this on-going series of discussions, we invite experts and leaders to share their perspectives on some of the key challenges facing society and whose solutions are likely to involve a novel synthesis of ideas and innovations from disciplines and schools including computer science, data science, social sciences, humanities, public health, business, and law.

We hope that these Coffee Breaks will stimulate discussion, build connections, and foster collaborations across fields.
