| Areas of Interest/Research: |
| Dr. Longini's research interests are in
the area of stochastic processes applied to epidemiological problems.
He has specialized in the mathematical and statistical theory of
epidemics--a process that involves constructing and analyzing
mathematical models of disease transmission, disease progression and
the analysis of infectious disease data based on these models. This
research has been carried out jointly with faculty members and
collaborators at other universities, the CDC, and NIH. Dr. Longini has
worked extensively on the analysis of epidemics of influenza, HIV,
cholera, dengue fever, rhinovirus, rotavirus, and measles. |
