MOCOS
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemics in 2020 we are working together with colleagues from all over the world on mathematical models and simulations for the dynamics of the disease spread.
Colleagues in Wroclaw, Poland (Prof. Tyll Krueger and his group) initiated the MOCOS-group focussing on stochastic microstructure simulation for the spread of COVID-19.
The group in Koblenz in concentrating on deterministic models based on differential equations.
Currently we are investigating the effects of different variants on the SARS-COV-2 virus on the dynamics
