SARS-CoV-2 Dissemination using a Network of the United States Counties
During 2020 and 2021, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission has been increasing amongst the world's population at an alarming rate. Reducing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and other diseases that are spread in similar manners is paramount for public health officials as they seek to effectively manage resources and potential population control measures such as social distancing and quarantines. By analyzing the United States' county network structure, one can model and interdict potential higher infection areas. County officials can provide targeted information, preparedness training, as well as increase testing in these areas. While these approaches may provide adequate countermeasures for localized areas, they are inadequate for the holistic United States. We solve this problem by collecting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infections and deaths from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention{\color{black},} and {\color{black} adjacency between all counties obtained} from the United States Census Bureau. Generalized network autoregressive (GNAR) time series models have been proposed as an efficient learning algorithm for networked datasets. This work fuses network science and operations research techniques to univariately model COVID-19 cases, deaths, and current survivors across the United States' county network structure.

Fever and mobility data indicate social distancing has reduced incidence of communicable disease in the United States
In March of 2020, many U.S. state governments encouraged or mandated restrictions on social interactions to slow the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 that has spread to nearly 18…
Socio-economic disparities and COVID-19 in the USA
COVID-19 is not a universal killer. We study the spread of COVID-19 at the county level for the United States up until the 15$^{th}$ of August, 2020. We show that the prevalence of the disease and the death rate are corr…
Interpretable Machine LearningUsing Machine Learning to Develop a Novel COVID-19 Vulnerability Index (C19VI)
COVID19 is now one of the most leading causes of death in the United States. Systemic health, social and economic disparities have put the minorities and economically poor communities at a higher risk than others. There …
BIG-bench Machine LearningCharacterizing SARS-CoV-2 mutations in the United States
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been mutating since it was first sequenced in early January 2020. The genetic variants have developed into a few distinct clusters with different prope…
Protein FoldingCurating a COVID-19 data repository and forecasting county-level death counts in the United States
As the COVID-19 outbreak evolves, accurate forecasting continues to play an extremely important role in informing policy decisions. In this paper, we present our continuous curation of a large data repository containing …
