Research information:

I specialize in methods for risk assessment and risk management, with a particular focus upon human health risks. I am particularly interested in the science policy interface that mediates between the synthesis of facts and the formulation of policy defining conclusions. Methods of particular interest include uncertainty analysis, applied decision analysis, demography, and health economics. I have applied these types of tools in the context of interpreting animal bioassay evidence in the support of regulatory determinations of chemical safety, and am currently applying demography approaches to the study of summary measures of population health (such as DALYs, QALYs, PEYLLs and alike).

Research information:

Advances in information and computing technology, the proliferation of online social networks and ever-lowering costs to store massive amounts of data are drastically changing how we socialize, work and shop by dramatically improving our ability to capture, analyze and communicate large amounts of data about these activities. New technologies and the data trail they foster represent an unprecedented opportunity for people to make more informed choices, for businesses to organize work more effectively and for brands to better target consumers.

As Canada Research Chair in Information and Performance Management, Dr. Jacomo Corbo’s research centers on how the structure, evolution and behaviour of massive social and information networks can be regulated and improved.

Corbo's research focuses on measuring, modelling and managing the impact of large-scale social networks on consumer demand, knowledge worker productivity, organizational performance and firm competitiveness.

He also studies how firms deal with the growing torrent of data potentially available to them and what the economic returns are to data and information technology investments.

This research will improve our fundamental understanding of what makes knowledge workers productive, what makes data and information technology economically valuable and how information networks should be designed and managed to promote better-informed consumers and more competitive firms.

Research information:

I study how nonlinear systems can generate unpredictable behaviour including chaos. I also study how this behaviour is influenced by various sources of noise such as environmental fluctuations. This research is applied to the neurosciences, where I seek to understand how our senses code information about the outside physical world, and to unravel the secrets of the codes used by the brain. It is also applied to physiological variability such as that of heart rate and breathing rate in health and disease, using also nonlinear time series methods. My mathematical models make predictions about experimental outcomes in my colleagues' neurobiological and clinical laboratories. I am interested finally in plasticity and memory formation, neurotransmitter balance in mental health, the role of feedback between brain areas, and the behaviours of neurons under trauma.

I'm currently examining the role and treatment of information in public policy and operations in criminal justice: statistics, databases, registries, administrative operational data, research results etc. This information arises and is used as evidence in investigations and decisions of a wide range of police, judicial and correctional institutions. I am particularly interested in the validity and reliability of information and of procedures for its use, as well as implications for rights to privacy.

I develop mathematical models of infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS, human papilloma virus, malaria and a variety of neglected tropical diseases. These models are in the areas of population epidemiology and within-host immunology. I look at intervention methods such as antiretroviral drugs, vaccines, quarantine and microbicides. I also study R0, the basic reproductive ratio for diseases. (I am also an expert in zombies and have the newspaper, radio and TV experience to prove it...)
