Topic: Data-Driven Pandemic Management

Since the outbreak of Covid-19 at the end of 2019, little consolidated
effort has been taken to deal with the pandemic worldwide. In this
talk, we discuss expected losses from pandemic outbreaks and nuclear
power plant accidents, together with environmental pollution. Early
simulation of possible scenarios can reduce global losses both
health-wise and economically. Reliability assessment is to be learned
for dealing with major global disasters.

Way Kuo, 1972NE graduate at National Tsing Hua University, is a Member
