Emulation and History Matching using the hmer Package (2024)
Journal Article
Iskauskas, A., Vernon, I., Goldstein, M., Scarponi, D., McKinley, T. J., White, R. G., & McCreesh, N. (2024). Emulation and History Matching using the hmer Package. Journal of Statistical Software, 109(10), 1–48. https://doi.org/10.18637/jss.v109.i10

Modeling complex real-world situations such as infectious diseases, geological phenomena, and biological processes can present a dilemma: the computer model (referred to as a simulator) needs to be complex enough to capture the dynamics of the system...

The impact of alternative delivery strategies for novel tuberculosis vaccines in low-income and middle-income countries: a modelling study (2023)
Journal Article
Clark, R. A., Mukandavire, C., Portnoy, A., Weerasuriya, C. K., Deol, A., Scarponi, D., …White, R. G. (2023). The impact of alternative delivery strategies for novel tuberculosis vaccines in low-income and middle-income countries: a modelling study. The Lancet Global Health, 11(4), 546-555. https://doi.org/10.1016/s2214-109x%2823%2900045-1

Background Tuberculosis is a leading infectious cause of death worldwide. Novel vaccines will be required to reach global targets and reverse setbacks resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. We estimated the impact of novel tuberculosis vaccines in lo...

Demonstrating multi-country calibration of a tuberculosis model using new history matching and emulation package - hmer (2023)
Journal Article
Scarponi, D., Iskauskas, A., Clark, R. A., Vernon, I., McKinley, T. J., Goldstein, M., …McCreesh, N. (2023). Demonstrating multi-country calibration of a tuberculosis model using new history matching and emulation package - hmer. Epidemics, 43, Article 100678. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epidem.2023.100678

Infectious disease models are widely used by epidemiologists to improve the understanding of transmission dynamics and disease natural history, and to predict the possible effects of interventions. As the complexity of such models increases, however,... Read More about Demonstrating multi-country calibration of a tuberculosis model using new history matching and emulation package - hmer.

Moduli space dynamics of noncommutative U(2) instantons (2015)
Journal Article
Iskauskas, A., & Smith, D. J. (2015). Moduli space dynamics of noncommutative U(2) instantons. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2015, Article 036. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep06%282015%29036

We consider the low energy dynamics of charge two instantons on noncommutative ℝ NC 2  × ℝ NC 2 in U(2) 5-dimensional super-Yang-Mills, using the Manton approximation for slow-moving instantons to calculate the moduli space metric. By employing the A... Read More about Moduli space dynamics of noncommutative U(2) instantons.
