Research Interests:
- Dr. Tamerus team research interest is in the area of Computational Epidemiology, Bioinformatics and Risk Analysis focuses on computational science with the goal of developing models that can be used in epidemiologic problem-solving and decision-making of animal, plant and human diseases.
- Current research areas include: dynamic (spatial-temporal systems analysis) and stochastic modeling; optimization models (linear/non-linear and dynamic programming); multivariate statistical models; expert systems models; neural networks and genetic algorithms; risk analysis and modeling.
- With his team he has worked on such diseases as HIV/AIDS, Cancer and in Risk Analysis models his team developed for such diseases as foot and mouth disease (FMD),H1N5, H1N1, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) (Released by the Secretary of Agriculture Ann M.Veneman, 2001 ) classical swine fever, citrus canker and others.
- He has collaborated with the USDA, the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis, the University of Maryland College of Engineering, FDA and others.
