Control Theory Models of Neurobiology and Drug Use Behavior

Georgiy Bobashev, PhD, is a senior research statistician at RTI International, where he has been working since 1998. His current research interests are substance use studies, in which he focuses on personalized treatments and a systems approach to addictions, and predictive modeling, in which he focuses on methods development in forecasting health outcomes. These methods often combine mechanistic (e.g., agent-based and system dynamics) and statistical models. Dr. Bobashev has applied modeling to health- and policy-related areas such as substance use, HIV, influenza, colorectal cancer, diabetes, and political violence. In addition, he is a nonresident fellow at the Brookings Institution, a nonresident fellow at the John Hopkins Center for Advanced Modeling, a member of the Industrial Advisory Board at the Institute for Advanced Analytics at North Carolina State University, an external fellow at Geary Dynamics Lab at the University College Dublin, and an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Statistics at North Carolina State University.

Dr. Bobashev's talk will be based on the recent article: Newlin D.B., Regalia P.A., Seidman T.I, and Bobashev G.V. (2011) Control Theory and Drug Addiction, In Gutkin B. & Ahmed S. (Ed.), The computational neuroscience of drug addiction. Springer Verlag. pp. 58-107.
