Qianying Lin

Postdoctoral Researcher Los Alamos National Lab

I am a postdoctoral research associate in Theoretical Biology and Biophysics (T-6) at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), working with Drs. Ethan O. Romero-Serverson, Carmen Molina-París, and Thomas Leitner. Prior to LANL, I was a Data Science fellow of Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS) at the University of Michigan, mentored by Profs. Aaron A. King and Edward L. Ionides. I received by Ph.D. and M.Phil degrees in applied mathematics from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, under the supervision of Prof. Daihai He.

My research focuses on:

  • Phylodynamics, Phylogenetics, Bioinformatics:
    • a unified framework of phylodynamics: (Structured) Markov Genealogy Processes
    • modelling and inferring the epidemiological and evolutionary dynamics of segmented RNA viruses with reassortment
    • within-host viral phylodynamics with multiple data streams
    • within-host genetic variation and transmission pair inference
  • Infectious Disease Modelling:
    • mathematical modelling and statistical inference for infectious disease transmission dynamics
    • environmental and behavioral impacts on disease transmission
    • effectiveness of policies and NPIs
