Catherine Dibble’s Summary

Combining high-performance computing and cloud-based web services with offline information and communication technologies to provide educational, public health, and economic opportunities for under served individuals and communities.

Dr. Dibble’s accomplishments so far include:

* A 1981 simulation model to evaluate baby boom effects on the US Social Security System’s balance of payments out to 2050;

* 1990 shared patents for clinical-complexity-adjusted evaluation of health care providers (Peer-A-Med®);

* A 1993 genetic algorithm (GA) to optimize the geographic location of facilities such as emergency centers or vaccine stockpiles;

* The 1994 invention of a genetics-based machine learning representation for expert detection of relevant events in terabytes of spatio-temporal surveillance data (Republished by invitation in _Spatial Evolutionary Modeling_ (2001));

* The 1999 invention of a new measure to quantify the socio-economic influence of pandemic vulnerability of cities or the leadership effectiveness of individuals in a social network;

* The 2000 implementation of a supervisory genetic algorithm (meta-GA) for multi-objective optimization of networks;

* The 2002-2004 design and funded development of the GeoGraph 3D spatial agent-based computational laboratory;

* The 2006 quantitative evaluation of inter-city pandemic risks and optimization of pandemic interventions; and

* A 2007 genetic algorithm for Disaster-Resilient Location-Allocation optimization.

She has published papers in journals such as Management Science, Climatic Change, and the Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, with chapters in Spatial Evolutionary Modeling and in the North-Holland Handbook of Agent-Based Computational Economics.
