New Publication: Disease-Informed Neural Networks for Avian Influenza Prediction
March 25, 2025
We are pleased to announce that Nickson Golooba has published a new paper in the field of computational epidemiology. The research, co-authored and mentored by WA Woldegerima, is titled "Deep neural networks with application in predicting the spread of avian influenza through disease-informed Neural Networks." This work introduces innovative approaches combining machine learning with domain knowledge for improved disease forecasting.
Their study also represents a significant advancement in predictive modeling for infectious disease spread, integrating mathematical epidemiology principles with neural network architectures.
The paper is now available online at: https://doi.org/10.3934/bdia.2025001
Congratulations to Nickson on this outstanding achievement!

New Publication: Undergraduate First Authorship Success
March 4, 2025
We are pleased to announce that Joe Tran has published his first paper as first author, co-authored with WA Woldegerima. This publication represents an important milestone for Joe and highlights the value of supporting undergraduate and Master's students in achieving first authorship on academic papers.
One of the advantages of allowing Undergraduate/MA/MSc students to have their first paper as a first author is to boost their future opportunities in terms of getting funding or scholarships.
The paper is now available online at: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S096007792500222X
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chaos.2025.116209
Congratulations to Joe on this outstanding achievement!
