Hespanha: COVID-19 Research
ECE Professor João Hespanha contributes to the worldwide fight against the Coronavirus
João Hespanha and his Networked Control Laboratory are developing tools to inform and advise decision making for control of large-scale global pandemics. Key goals of the project include making reliable predictions for the state of a pandemic in the next few days/weeks/months, estimating effects of governmental measures in the dynamics of the pandemic, and designing protocols for effective control of a pandemic to prevent overloading the healthcare system. A key feature of his work has to do with "annotating" predictions/estimates/protocols with quantitative measures of uncertainty so decision makers can explore realistic best-case and worst-case scenarios.
