Completed M.Sc. work, the evidence behind it, and the doctoral directions ahead — with documented outputs kept distinct from forward-looking plans.
Themes
Four intersecting lines of work
Completed M.Sc. research, ongoing doctoral work, and the longer-term research agenda grouped by theme.
01
Infectious disease forecasting and early warning
Recent M.Sc. work centered on multimodal forecasting, non-stationary time-series analysis, and early-warning-oriented modelling for infectious diseases, especially respiratory disease activity and influenza-related scenarios.
02
Influenza co-circulation and spatiotemporal dynamics
A central line of work studies co-circulation patterns, synchronous and lagged relationships, and feature extraction for influenza-related signals in China, using interpretable time-series and multiscale analytical methods.
03
Mechanistic Outbreak Modelling
Recent work on the 2025 Foshan chikungunya outbreak combines ODE and Petri Net formulations to compare transmission interpretation, intervention effects, and uncertainty under data-limited conditions.
04
Epidemic dynamics and viral evolution
My broader agenda is to link macroscopic epidemic patterns with microscopic viral evolution, integrating epidemiological signals, phylodynamic evidence, and early-warning models within a single framework.
Current focus
Current directions
My research combines completed M.Sc. modelling work with the next doctoral direction in epidemiology and health statistics.
My current doctoral-stage work centres on multimodal infectious-disease forecasting and early warning, including the MAESTRO framework for respiratory-disease activity, influenza co-circulation analysis, and dual-framework ODE / Petri Net modelling for mechanistic-modelling outbreak settings such as the 2025 Foshan chikungunya outbreak. Alongside these lines, I maintain an infectious-disease intelligence platform for data collection and analytical support. The longer-term agenda links macroscopic epidemic patterns with microscopic viral evolution, integrating epidemiological signals with phylodynamic evidence toward a coherent early-warning framework.
Methodology
Research approach
Methodologically, I connect data sources, model structure, interpretation, and reproducible implementation, with strong baselines, sensitivity analysis, and transparent reporting of model limitations.
01
Multimodal data integration
I work with surveillance records, environmental information, behavioral or news-derived signals, and, in longer-term plans, genomic data, aiming to turn heterogeneous public-health information into coherent analytical inputs.
02
Interpretable modelling
My current work combines decomposition-based forecasting, state-space reasoning, and mechanistic models such as ODEs and Petri Nets so that predictive results remain tied to epidemiological interpretation.
03
Reproducibility and validation
I emphasise reproducible pipelines, strong baselines, sensitivity analysis, and transparent reporting of model limitations.
