I work with the modeling and simulation platform FRED (Framework for Reconstructing Epidemiological Dynamics), developed by the Public Health Dynamics Laboratory at Pitt Public Health. FRED is an agent-based modeling system that has been used to simulate diverse scenarios such as infectious disease outbreaks, impact of mitigation strategies, and responses to emergency situations. I have contributed to a number of FRED projects, including the addition of long-term demographic dynamics, travel simulation, impact of behavior on vaccination dynamics, population-level income changes over time, development of behavioral risk models of alcohol-related problems and modeling the opioid epidemic. I have also worked on the development of a model to estimate impact of interventions on deficits in health care resources and to a model that explored the relationship of social determinants to cardiovascular disease risk. Currently, PHDL is modeling COVID-19 and influenza.
