Climate and weather can affect disease prevalence in different ways. For instance, humidity and temperature affect the life cycles of mosquitos which can greatly influence the prevalence of vector-borne diseases like malaria and dengue. Modelling this relationship is very important, both in the short term for outbreak preparedness, and in the long term, for health systems to adapt to the changing climate. However, this modelling is difficult because of low amounts of quality health data, complexities in spatial-temporal modelling, and the many different domains (vector biology, climate, epidemiology).
In this talk I will present our work on building a framework both for developing modularized and adaptable climate-health models, and for rigorously evaluating the utility of these models.

Our students take a programming course in their first semester, where they are taught the basics of syntax and coding strategy. They then go on to use programming in most of their other courses, gaining experience as they use it in varied and increasingly sophisticated ways. But we don’t really have specific goals, strategies or measurements in place for how students should develop their programming skills past the first year, despite programming being essential in physics research and industry. 

I’m therefore researching how computational physics masters students develop their skills in programming, using interview data and student code.

Abstract: Although tropical vector bundles have been introduced by Allermann ten years ago, very little has been said about their structure and their relationship to vector bundles on algebraic varieties. I will present recent work with Martin Ulirsch and Dmitry Zakharov that changes exactly this in the case of curves: we prove analogues of the Weil-Riemann-Roch theorem and the Narasimhan-Seshadri correspondence for tropical vector bundles on tropical curves. We also show that the non-Archimedean skeleton of the moduli space of semistable vector bundles on a Tate curve is isomorphic to a certain component of the moduli space of semistable tropical vector bundles on its dual metric graph. Time permitting I will also report on work with Inder Kaur, Martin Ulirsch, and Annette Werner and explain some of the difficulties that arise when generalizing beyond the case of curves to Abelian varieties of arbitrary dimension.
