In this episode, we talk with B. Aditya Prakash, Krista Wigginton, and John Yin about the NSF PREVNT workshop they helped to organize in February 2021. PREVENT (Predicting Emergence of Virulent Entities by Novel Technologies) sought to answer what advances in science, technology, and human behavior would enable prediction and prevention of future pandemics. We think you'll really enjoy what they had to say!

B. Aditya Prakash is an Associate Professor of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta. He is broadly interested in Data Science, Machine Learning and AI with emphasis on solving big-data problems in networks and sequences. Many of the research questions he answers deal with understanding and managing efficiently, dynamical mechanisms (like propagation) on networks, occurring across natural, social and technological systems. These include problems motivated from public health, computational epidemiology, cybersecurity, urban computing and the web. His research combines theoretical analysis of models, developing efficient algorithms and empirical studies on large-scale data. Learn more: https://www.cc.gatech.edu/~badityap/
Krista Wigginton is an assistant professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on applications of environmental biotechnology in drinking water and wastewater treatment. In particular, her research group develops new methods to detect and analyze the fate of emerging pollutants in the environment. Learn more: https://css.umich.edu/person/krista-r-wigginton
John Yin is Professor of Chemical & Biological Engineering, Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor, Theme Leader of Wisconsin Institute for Discovery at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. His research interests are in systems biology - virus-host interactions and systems chemistry - molecular replicators. Learn more: https://directory.engr.wisc.edu/che/Faculty/Yin_John/
