Hi! I am Yang Ye. I am currently a Postdoctoral Associate at Yale Center for Infectious Disease Modeling and Analysis, led by Prof. Alison Galvani. I received the B.S. degree in Logistics Management from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2019, and my PhD degree in Data Science from City University of Hong Kong in 2023, under the direction of Prof. Qingpeng Zhang.

My research is at the intersection of mathematical epidemiology and complex networks. I have been working on developing mathematical and computational models to investigate infectious disease dynamics, predict the course of epidemics, and inform public health policies based on real-world and hypothetical networks. My research has been published in reputable journals such as Nature Human Behaviour, Nature Communications, PNAS, and Proceedings of the Royal Society A, as well as featured in press such as The Washington Post and The Guardian.
