compartmentalmodeller
A compartmentalmodeller is a professional who constructs and analyzes compartmental models—mathematical representations that divide a system into discrete states or compartments and describe flows between them. These models are widely used to study the dynamics of processes where individuals or units transition among states over time, such as the spread of infectious diseases, the distribution of a drug in the body, or ecological population changes.
Most compartmental models use compartments that represent mutually exclusive states (for example, susceptible, infectious, recovered) and
A compartmental modeller selects model structure, specifies transition rates, and estimates parameters from data using techniques
Applications span epidemiology (outbreak forecasting, vaccination strategies), pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (drug absorption, distribution, and elimination), veterinary science, and
A compartmental modeller may work in academia, public health agencies, biotechnology companies, or consultancy. The term
