Albion College Mathematics and Computer Science Colloquium



Title: Opportunities in Pathogen War Gaming
Speaker:Lauren Ancel Meyers
Professor

Abstract: Video of a talk given for the Hertz Foundation on May 6, 2021.
Dr. Lauren Ancel Meyers discussed the new Center for Advanced Pathogen Threat and Response Simulation (CAPTRS) and its pioneering vision to apply sophisticated war gaming technology to build robust health and socioeconomic lines of defense against future pathogen threats. CAPTRS has three core elements that differ from the science today: (1) an AI-based synthetic threat lab that generates a universe of pathogen threats; (2) a multi-disciplinary collaboration hub where researchers convene to develop solutions; and (3) the situation room where Pathogen War Gaming™ technology will be used to simulate real-time responses and their consequences.
