Crossing scales to assess the risks of viral transmission in a crowd

A chasm of several orders of magnitude in lengthscales separates viruses and the respiratory droplets carrying them from the typical...

Computer Science, Applied Maths and Stat Phys gathered to model dense crowds: Second MADRAS meeting

What skills should one gather to develop and implement innovative models for crowd dynamics? The answer most probably depends on the type...

Une Table Ronde, co-organisée par Angelo FURNO et Alexandre NICOLAS, s'est tenue à Lyon le 6 avril 2022. Elle a réuni, autour du thème...

Even light winds and air flows are to be heeded in the simulation of coronavirus-laden droplets

To what extent do indoor and outdoor settings differ for the short-ranged transmission of virus-laden droplets? How come the odds of...

[Covid-19 transmission risks] Talk at the 2021 Conference on Complex Systems

In a recent talk delivered at the Conference on Complex Systems (CCS2021), I got the opportunity to present our work on the risks of...

People moving in groups: How does this impact their motion?

In collaboration with Fadratul H. HASSAN (Malaysia), we have just published a (hopefully) pedagogical review on the current knowledge...

Where does the Covid-19 pandemic spread most (among non-confined crowds)?

Our manuscript explaining how field-data about pedestrian crowds can be coupled to viral transmission models to assess the risks of new...

PhD opening on physics-based models for pedestrian motion [CLOSED]

We are looking for a bright and motivated candidate for a doctoral position (PhD) on the physics-based modelling of pedestrian motion, at...

How does the coronavirus disease spread in outdoor crowds?

Most Covid-19 outbreaks are known to originate in enclosed spaces. However, reported outbreaks do also include a small minority of events...

Covid transmission in crowds: Can outdoor situations be ranked by the risks that they present?

In what (outdoor) situations is the risk of viral transmission amid a crowd highest, if masks are not worn by everybody?

How singular is a pedestrian, as compared to a vibrated grain or a self-propelled particle?

Despite the complexity of the human mind, pedestrians often seem to move fairly predictibly. Even more so when the crowd is dense and...
