SISMID 2026: Human – AI Teaming Approach to Infectious Disease Modeling
This module introduces key concepts in infectious disease modeling alongside core principles of human–AI teaming. Students will begin with a guided walkthrough of AI prompting using an example dataset, demonstrating how to build a full forecasting pipeline step-by-step. This demo is followed by hands-on labs where students apply the same prompting strategies to a more…
Simulation Games
Develop serious simulation games and planning to host workshops focused on these games.
Tech Transfer Workshop
Workshop introduced participants to Epydemix, an open-source platform for stochastic epidemic modeling, simulation, and forecasting.
Experiential co-op program
Leveraging experiential co-op program to give opportunity for embedding modelers in public health
Collab-a-thon
Follows a hack-a-thon structure to bring together modelers to answer a question. The upcoming 2024 iteration will be focused on the effective reproductive numbers. It will have 3 goals: 1) conduct methodological review of reproductive number estimation tools, 2) discuss a roadmap for the community to aggregate and build new tools, and 3) enhance the…
CAPTRS Training Exercise Games
Working with CAPTRS to develop versions of simulation exercises that are intended to impart specific skills, such as communication, rather than an exercise in brainstorming and discussing ideas for response.
Summer Institute in Statistics and Modeling in Infectious Diseases (SISMID)
In person training designed to introduce infectious disease researchers to modern methods of statistical analysis and mathematical modeling. Starts this summer at Emory with 16 courses lined up that are each 2.5 days.
