Nodycast: Episode 1. Nonlinear Dynamics of the COVID-19 Pandemic (#1)

This is the premier episode of Nodycast, the podcast on nonlinear dynamics and has been split into two parts. In this episode (Part 1) we discuss nonlinear modeling and dynamic analysis of pandemics, in particular, COVID-19. We have an expert panel: Dr. Gergely Rost (University of Szeged, Hungary), Dr. Bala Balachandran (University of Maryland), Dr. J. Tenreiro Machado (University of Porto, Portugal) and Dr. C. Nataraj (Villanova University, USA). We discuss compartment vs. agent-based models, parametric vs. data-based models, seasonality, predictability, control techniques, effect of social behavior, government action, etc. Also discussed are the issues about data and possible research in the future.

Nodycast is a lively podcast discussing the theory, techniques and latest innovations in nonlinear dynamics, and its applications to systems of all kinds. This includes almost everything under the sun such as mechanical, structural, electrical, chemical, thermo-fluid, ecological, economic, epidemiological, biological and chemical systems. It is hosted by Dr. 'Nat' C. Nataraj, Moritz Professor at Villanova University and Senior Editor for Nonlinear Dynamics, a Springer-Nature journal.
