Rapid Response Research Grants: e-health and autonomous systemsCOVID-19 has presented us with a need for new technologies – and novel ways to use technologies that we already have.

His team is using Geographical Information Systems and Carleton’s Digital Campus Building Information Model (BIM) map to make models that are extensions of the susceptible-infected-recovered (SEIR) models that predict the dynamics of the pandemic.
