A novel spatiotemporal approach to COVID-19 surveillance
A recent Master’s thesis explored a new way to understand the spread and possible control of COVID-19 better by combining wastewater measurements and other epidemiological indicators.
Past research in wastewater-based epidemiology has shown that collecting and analysing wastewater can improve the surveillance of diseases such as norovirus, poliovi…4 min

Opportunities and Challenges in using machine learning to model pollen data
There are many types of pollen models simulating pollen emission and/or atmospheric transport of pollen to predict the amount of pollen at a given time at a given location. As pollen can be transported over larger areas, large-scale models that capture both local and transported pollen need to be developed. This requires large datasets. We need to…
