MTM welcomes you to a lunchtime guest lecture by Tom Britton, Professor of Mathematical Statistics at Stockholm University.

Title

Mathematical modelling of infectious disease outbreaks: introduction and two snapshots

Abstract

I will first describe some basic stochastic epidemic models and their properties, and then very briefly present two recent research problems I have been working on: optimizing lockdown in time and magnitude, and, estimating how many lives the Covid-19 vaccine saved (in Sweden during 2021).
