Tools and models of nonlinear control theory for epidemiology and immunology

Team presentation

The objective of Masaie is to develop and implement methods of control theory(modeling, estimation, identification, control, optimal control) and dynamical systems to study infectious diseases. In collaboration with end users (physicians, epidemiologists, entomologists...) We construct mathematical models, we analyze, validate the field data . From these models we examine the different methods of intervention and control. Our objective is also to get a better understanding of the biology of the transmission of infectious diseases. This is mandatory in order to answer questions of interest to specialists in the life sciences.

Research themes

Mathematical modeling in epidemiology : analysis of models, study of their behavior, local or global. Models validations, parameters identification. Developping and using observers for epidemiology. Applications : malaria, hepatitis B, schistosomiasis, and more generally tropical diseases.
