معرفی
Yu Lan is a Research Fellow at the Yale School of Public Health, specializing in spatial epidemiology and health geography. Her work integrates genomic data (e.g., WGS) with geographic information systems (GIS) to analyze transmission patterns of infectious diseases like COVID-19 and tuberculosis.
Education:
- PhD in Geography, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
- MA in Geography, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
Research Interests focus on space-time disease modeling, infectious disease transmission, and data-driven public health tools. She develops web-based systems for real-time disease surveillance and environmental risk assessment, including tools for private well contamination and urban neighborhood dynamics.
Scientific Awards include the SISMID Scholarship (2024), Student Honors Paper Competition Finalist (2023), and David Woodward Digital Map Award (2021).
Collaborations include work with the Ted Cohen Lab and researchers like Joshua Warren and Eric Delmelle. Her publications emphasize genomic-spatial integration and cluster detection algorithms for diseases such as tuberculosis and SARS-CoV-2.
