Effective reproduction number for COVID-19 in Aotearoa New Zealand
Our researchers use a stochastic model to simulate COVID-19 spread in New Zealand, and report an estimate for its effective reproduction number (Reff) before and after implementation of Alert Level 4.
A structured model for COVID-19 spread: Modelling age and healthcare inequities
Te Punaha Matatini researchers have developed a structured model to look at the spread of COVID-19 in different groups within the New Zealand population.
New interactive app simulates COVID-19 spread in NZ
A New Zealand-specific interactive epidemic simulation app developed by Dr Audrey Lustig, Associate Investigator at Te Pūnaha Matatini, and hosted by the University of Auckland’s Centre for eResearch, has just been released.
Effect of Alert Level 4 measures on COVID-19 transmission
An analysis of interventions used around the world, equivalent to New Zealand’s Alert Levels 1-4, and their effect on the ability of COVID-19 to reproduce effectively.
Estimated inequities in COVID-19 infection fatality rates by ethnicity for New Zealand
How equitable is our healthcare system? Our researchers and colleagues analysed available data to estimate COVID-19 infection fatality rates by ethnicity in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Modelling COVID-19 spread and the effects of Alert Level 4 in New Zealand
Our investigators model COVID-19 containment and elimination scenarios in New Zealand, as the country considers an exit from a four-week period of strong population-wide control measures.
Suppression and mitigation strategies for control of COVID-19 in New Zealand
Our researchers compared suppression and mitigation strategy outcomes in COVID-19 using a simple model with New Zealand-specific parameters.

Te Pūnaha Matatini interns report on centre’s carbon emissions
Te Pūnaha Matatini interns have analysed the centre’s carbon emissions over the past few years to better understand our past and current performance.
Te Pūnaha Matatini’s link to exciting new start-up
Te Pūnaha Matatini provided much of the impetus for Nebula, an innovative new data visualisation company set up by physicists with the help of the University of Auckland Business School’s Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
