YEN BUI is an academic who published a paper in 2022 entitled Expand Campus Reopen to a School System by Considering Population Density and Human Dynamics. YEN BUI published this work as part of a team: YEEFAY LI. Here is a description of this work: With the return to in-person school in the fall, one of the most important concerns is how COVID-19 may spread within schools operating at full capacity. A main factor to consider in modeling the spread trajectory of COVID-19 is the movement and activity of students. To this end, we sought to simulate the movement of students on and off campus in order to model the spread of COVID-19 within Fairfax County Public Schools. Using ArcMap, we modeled the distance between homes and schools in Fairfax County, and considered walkability, how likely a student will walk/bike to school, and population density to analyze the student dynamics within a school pyramid. We then wrote Python code to collect road traffic data in order to model student movement outside of school, which is useful in modeling student movement on the weekends. We have so.
