We are pleased to announce that Dr. Qi Deng, Postdoctoral Researcher at the DIMMS Lab, has published a new paper in PLoS Computational Biology, a leading journal in computational biology research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This publication represents significant progress in our lab's computational biology research initiatives and demonstrates the high-quality work being conducted by our team members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The paper is now available online: Read the full paper<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Congratulations to Dr. Qi Deng on this excellent achievement!<\/p>\n\n\n\n March 25, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We are pleased to announce that Nickson Golooba<\/a> has published a new paper in the field of computational epidemiology. The research, co-authored and mentored by WA Woldegerima<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Their study also represents a significant advancement in predictive modeling for infectious disease spread, integrating mathematical epidemiology principles with neural network architectures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The paper is now available online at: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3934\/bdia.2025001<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Congratulations to Nickson on this outstanding achievement!<\/p>\n\n\n\n March 15, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We are pleased to congratulate Dr. Chigozie L. Ugwu<\/a> on her two recent publications in prestigious journals. WA Woldegerima<\/a> is a co-author on both of these significant research papers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We extend our sincere congratulations to Dr. Chigozie for these excellent contributions to the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n March 4, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We are pleased to announce that Joe Tran<\/strong> has published his first paper as first author, co-authored with WA Woldegerima<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The paper is now available online at: https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S096007792500222X<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nNew Publication: Disease-Informed Neural Networks for Avian Influenza Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n
