DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-05230-4
Abstract: The ongoing geographical expansion of dengue is inducing an epidemiological transition in many previously transmission-free urban areas, which are now prone to annual epidemics. To analyze the spatiotemporal dynamics of dengue in these settings, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/jsac.2021.3071818
Abstract: How to achieve efficient multiple access for Terahertz (THz) networks is still an open problem. The key obstacle is the extremely narrow angular coverage by a highly directional THz beam. Thus, a hybrid THzPrism beamforming… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/14034948221141806
Abstract: Aims: Epidemic wavefront models predict the spread of medieval pandemics such as the plague well. Our aim was to explore whether they contribute to understanding the spread of COVID-19, the first truly global pandemic of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1010391
Abstract: Theoretical population genetics has long studied the arrival and geographic spread of adaptive variants through the analysis of mathematical models of dispersal and natural selection. These models take on a renewed interest in the context… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0005822
Abstract: Background Prevention and control of wildlife disease invasions relies on the ability to predict spatio-temporal dynamics and understand the role of factors driving spread rates, such as seasonality and transmission distance. Passive disease surveillance (i.e.,… read more here.
