Faculty Feature:
Professor Lauren Gardner
A specialist in modeling infection disease risk, Gardner created the COVID-19 dashboard that became the world’s most trusted source for reliable, real-time data about the pandemic—earning her the 2022 Lasker-Bloomberg Public Service Award, America’s top medical research prize.
Gardner is Director of the Center for Systems Science and Engineering. Inspired by optimization — the math of decisions – the Center integrates computation, data, and physical science, along with their context in human society, in order to support system function and make our lives safer.
Challenges at the frontiers of future infrastructure will require engineering innovation in order for society to thrive in a rapidly changing environment.
