5 Questions with COVID Researchers: Tracy Van Holt, New York ...
We tried to understand to what extent people coming from a COVID-19-infected environment interact with the built and natural environment. Specifically, we wanted to understand in three dimensions what people touched, how much they touched, and where they went coming out of hospitals and urgent care facilities at the peak of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Our research examines and compares people’s compliance with these measures over time, across diverse national, cultural, and political contexts. Specifically, it focuses on how different value and belief systems influence (non)compliance with containment measures as the pandemic unfolds.
5 Questions with COVID Researchers: Bernhard Leidner, University of Massachusetts ...
Understanding the structures of the SARS-CoV-2 viral proteins is essential to understanding its biology, its infectiousness, its transmissibility, and how to develop treatments for it. Our project focuses on enabling the process of structure determination for SARS-CoV-2 proteins.
5 Questions with COVID Researchers: Sarah Bowman, Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research ...
The role of contaminated surfaces (fomites) in community transmission of SARS-CoV-2 has been debated. Our team is sampling high-touch public surfaces during the ongoing pandemic to improve understanding of the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection when the public accesses essential businesses such as grocery stores, pharmacies, and gas stations.

Modeling COVID-19 in the context of optimizing quarantine policy using mobility patterns
5 Questions with COVID Researchers: Leila Hedayatifar, New England Complex ...
We are attempting to apply approaches developed in microbial ecology to understand how a viral pathogen such as SARS-CoV-2 can survive and be transmitted in academic environments.
5 Questions with COVID Researchers: John Dennehy, Queens College, CUNY
We are designing a public health solution for contact tracing built around digital ecosystems. Our current focus is on improving privacy, user-experience, effectiveness, and adoption of digital contact tracing. With so many issues at forefront, the challenge to solve the contact tracing puzzle is manifold.
5 Questions with COVID Researchers: Ramesh Raskar, Massachusetts Institute of ...
People’s ability to understand and personalize threats are key in getting them to adopt protective behaviors. COVID-19 presents a serious threat to health. However, unlike threats from other kinds of hazards, the virus does not offer any visible indication of its threat or presence.
5 Questions with COVID Researchers: Samantha Penta, University at Albany
We have a detailed transmission model that specifically focuses on the availability of testing strategies and their effect on the containment and spread of COVID-19, which is amenable to the systematic exploration of a wide range of important “what-if” scenarios.
