Biography

Dr Lin Wang is a Research Associate in the team of Henrik Salje at the Department of Genetics. He was a chargé de recherché in the Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Disease Unit at the Institute Pasteur (Paris) from 2018/09 to 2020/04, and a postdoctoral fellow in the School of Public Health at The University of Hong Kong from 2014/03 to 2017/12. He has a PhD in Electronic Engineering from Fudan University, MSc and BSc in Physics from Nankai University and Southeast University, respectively. He serves as an editorial board member of BMC Infectious Diseases and BMC Medicine.

Research

My research interests include infectious diseases epidemiology and modeling, Bayesian inference, viral evolution, and systems immunology, with applications to arbovirus (e.g. dengue) and emerging diseases (e.g., pandemic influenza, SARS-CoV-2).
