    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    In response to the needs for ventilators for critically ill Covid-19 patients a collaboration of international particle physicists, engineers, software specialists, industry and medical specialists came together to create rapidly a simple, low-cost, open-source ventilator tailored specifically for such patients. The project was initiated by Professor Cristian Galbiati, spokesperson of the...

    Applied Physics and Instrumentation / Physique appliquée et de l'instrumentation (DAPI / DPAI)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    Like many, a combination of curiosity, self-preservation, and dissatisfaction with what the news was calling "analyses", drove us to begin our own analyses of publicly available COVID-19 data. I will present some of the simple approaches we came up with, and our more interesting observations regarding the effectiveness of restrictions and the variations over time in the mortality rate per...

    Applied Physics and Instrumentation / Physique appliquée et de l'instrumentation (DAPI / DPAI)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    In the past 20 years, large-scale datasets of cell phone traces have emerged as a key proxy to study human movement patterns, and how those patterns change in response to exogenous events such as natural disasters or terrorist attacks. These data have proven especially useful to understand the effects of public policy in the current COVID-19 pandemic, where "lockdowns" and other mobility-based...
