Speaker: John Hessler, Specialist in Computational Geography and Geographic Information Science at the Library of Congress and a Professor of Evolutionary Computation in the Graduate School of Advanced Studies at the Johns Hopkins University. Click HERE for sample slides.

Hessler will provide an introduction to the computational techniques and the algorithmic methods that cartographers and epidemiologists are using to map the spread and origins of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 virus). He will look at methodologies for mapping the virus' nucleotide and amino acid mutations and examine how the virus spread to the United States, looking closely at the massive amounts of complex geospatial data generated by GISAID (originally known as Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data). He will also talk about cell phone monitoring for contact tracing, touch on modern methods of sentiment analysis using geo-located tweets, and introduce the machine learning and spatial analysis algorithms that are helping scientists understand, in real-time, the spread and geospatial dynamics of the current pandemic.
