Hello! Welcome!

My name is Yang Ge (pronounced “Young G”). I specialize in building statistical models for epidemiology research, with a focus on infectious diseases. My recent work includes studies on influenza, norovirus, COVID-19, HIV, and tuberculosis. I’m passionate about using data to better understand and combat the spread of these diseases. More details of my research are listed on Google Scholar.
