An Agent-Based Approach for Leveraging Compartmental Epidemiology Models for Analysing Disease Spread

Duration: Jul, 2022 — Jan, 2023

Description: Agent-Based Models (ABMs) are a dynamic, computational approach that represents individuals, groups, or organizations as autonomous software agents that all interact, influence, and adapt to their surrounding. The objective of this project is to apply ABMs to complex systems, such as disease spread, to simulate real-world scenarios.

  • Explored the field of ABMs to model complex and adaptive systems, such as the transmissions of diseases and its iteractions with the human population
  • Developed model in Repast Suite platform to utilize its parallel computation resources on large scale ABM methodology
  • Created and executed simulation on Python using synthetic, million node Watts-Strogatz network
  • Applied compartmental epidemiology models on Agent-Based Model paradigm to simulate real-world scenarios, validated with real-world data from the Coronavirus Disease of 2019, provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
  • Authored research journal accepted by the Computer Science Conference for CSU Undergraduates (CSCSU 2023)
