Jessica Davis
BIO:
Jessica Davis is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Public Health and Health Sciences at Bouvé College and a member of MOBS Lab. Her research combines network science methods with data-driven epidemic modeling to respond to emerging infectious disease outbreaks. Her work aims to inform public health policies and enhance preparedness for future outbreaks by bridging the gap between theory and practice. She received her PhD in Network Science from Northeastern University, where she investigated the impact of cryptic transmission and travel restrictions during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Federico Levi
BIO:
Federico Levi is Deputy Editor, Physics and Computing at Nature. His studies began at the University of Milan, where he specialized in the dynamics of open quantum systems. He then obtained his PhD from the University of Freiburg where he studied entanglement theory and energy transfer in disordered systems, with a focus on identifying quantum effects in biological processes.
