K-State Center for Complex Network Approach to Epidemiological and Biological Modeling and Simulation (EPICENTER) provides resources to analyze, build and simulate mathematical models for the spread of epidemics in complex networks. EPICENTER’s goal is to provide policy makers with real-time flexible tools to curtail epidemiological outbreaks; whether such an outbreak occurs in humans, animals, plants or computers.

Very little disrupts society and causes economic loss as severely as an out of control epidemic. Such an epidemic may result in human deaths, disposal of herds, destruction of crops, or inability to communicate over the Internet and be the result of terrorist attacks or natural causes.

We are designing algorithms and software for network simulation and topology analysis with mobile agents that allow dynamic environmental inputs. Our goal is to design efficient, realistic simulations for real-time implementation of virtually any epidemic.

The research team spans multiple departments and colleges at Kansas State University. This combines biological applications with core mathematical competencies.
