Help from an unexpected quarter: geosciences data techniques can help predict corona spread

An international team of scientists, among whom Femke Vossepoel of TU Delft Safety & Security Institute’s Executive Board, is studying the possibility of using data assimilation, a data technique from geosciences, to predict the spread of coronavirus and the efficacy of certain measures. TU Delft geoscientists on the team think that data assimilation might prove a useful tool for the RIVM epidemiologists. A paper on the subject has been submitted to scientific journal Foundations of Data Science.

TU Delft Safety & Security Institute

To create a safer and more secure society

It is the need for more integrated approaches that has brought different safety & security fields together in one institute. By learning from one another and exploring novel design and engineering the institute strives to renew the outlook of safety and security research.
