Cynthia Tochukwu Nnolum (Mathematical Sciences) presented her research findings on “” at the , held from June 1-5, 2026, under the theme Industrial and Computational Mathematics: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing (ICM@ICM).
This research provides a deeper understanding of how infectious diseases spread and persist across interconnected regions, particularly when transmission rates are influenced by factors such as limited contact opportunities or behavioral changes during outbreaks. The results can help inform public health strategies by identifying conditions that lead to disease stabilization and by assessing how population movement between regions affects long-term disease dynamics, thereby supporting more effective epidemic control and resource allocation.
