Tools and Technologies for Pandemics (TTP)
The Center for Engineering Concepts Development (CECD) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park, with support from Maryland nonprofit The Neilom Foundation, are working on a new initiative to address issues surrounding the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
This new initiative plans to foster the conceptualization and development of tools and technologies that can be used to both combat pandemics and cope with them. The range of tools and technologies are expected to include modeling and simulation tools, virus detection technologies, and ventilator technologies, to name a few.

The initial work of this group focuses on the prediction of COVID-19 cases in the DC, Maryland and Virginia regions.
The following charts are the TTP group’s predictions of Total and Daily COVID-19 cases for Maryland, Maryland counties, and Virginia. The charts shown here are based on the work in this recently published paper: COVID-19: Data-Driven Dynamics, Statistical and Distributed-Delay Models, and Observations. These charts are interactive and you can select any point along the line to see specific data points. Links to more charts are below.
