We fit MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis #COVID model simultaneously to 30 US states (and counties) to estimate R and effect of NPIs. TL/DR: NPIs help but R still >1 nearly everywhere Summary: medium.com/@jieying2000/m… Code & results: github.com/JieYingWu/COVI… JHU Malone Center for Engineering in Healthcare Denis Wirtz Anthony Goldbloom

#SocialDistancing works! In an analysis of over 1,400 US counties, we found that 80% have flattened #COVID19 reproductive rate to < 1. In metro areas, stay-at-home orders were estimated most effective. Johns Hopkins University Full paper here: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thrilled about Jie Ying Wu receiving Runner Up, ML4CAI Award IPCAI for our work on cross-modal self supervised learning for robotic surgery. A wonderful accomplishment just before joining VISEVanderbilt as an Assistant Prof. --> More to come! Johns Hopkins Engineering ARCADE Lab @ JHU

Congratulations Jie Ying Wu! We'll miss you at JHU Computer Science and wish you all the best for the start of your faculty career VISEVanderbilt! Looking forward to collaborating to advance surgical robotics.

The 2023 International Symposium on Medical Robotics (ISMR) will be hosted on the campus of Georgia Tech from April 17-21. The paper submission site opens on October 15 and closes on November 15. ismr.gatech.edu #robotics #roboticsurgery #medicaldevices
