Project Overview
With the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, there has been an increase in work undertaken to model the spread of the virus. Our project adds a geographical dimension by modelling the US as a grid of square-miles, before applying a spatial version of the well-established SIR (Susceptible, Infectious, Recovered) model to estimate the spread of the virus across the US.
Our project employs the use of key Big Data and Big Compute concepts taught in this class, supplemented by context-specific knowledge about the disease transmission models.
