Boeing Speaker Series – Commander’s Intent and Leading in a Complex World
Careers / Jobs
Online

Complex products and complex business relationships can’t be entirely planned in advance. There will always be uncertainty and emergent, unplanned events. One way to deal with that is to get better and better at collecting data and filtering it up to decision makers. Another is to create a system in which local groups can act independently towards an aligned goal. Starting with Frederick Winslow Taylor, much of business chose to go the first path. But, military units had already started going in the second. This Speaker Series event will discuss how that happened and why the model that the military created is often going to be a better solution for today’s complex products and business relationships.

Mathematics and Statistics Colloquium: Dr. Joshua Schiffer
Lecture
Spark

Our group has developed mathematical models to define variable SARS-CoV-2 shedding kinetics observed in the general population. We leveraged this model to accurately simulate clinical trials. Our models help identify why nirmatrelvir / ritonavir was extremely effective as an early therapy but failed a post exposure prophylaxis, and why viral rebound is common on this drug. We also explore mechanisms for nirmatrelvir / ritonavir’s superiority relative to molnupiravir.
