  mentoring_philosophy: "I've mentored for UROP in the past. My research is highly interdisciplinary, crossing biology, mathematics, economics, and social science more generally. As such, I'm open to a wide array of students' interests and backgrounds. I've had papers with undergraduates and a high school student published in peer reviewed journals. So, this is definitely a possibility if you are interested."

  overall_research_project_description: |-
    Our project will be to develop materials to teach epidemiology at an introductory-to-intermediate level, where we will start with basic biology and the SIR model and build up to introduce models involving social interaction dynamics and stochastic noise. The project will involve differential equations, coding in R, and simulations. https://nishanmudalige.github.io/STA258/index.html is an example of what we will be producing (but for mathematical epidemiology). We will collaborate with three other team members on this project, two from Toronto and another from Tallahassee. Much of the work will be remote and flexible, but I am also available for in-person meetings.

    This is a great opportunity to learn some epidemiology, mathematical modeling and coding skills! And, this project can lead to you developing your own mathematical models of disease spread.
