Yimei Li is  Ph.D. student in Quantitative and Computational Biology at Princeton University.  She joined Levin Lab in May 2022, where she studied mathematical models for the ecology and evolution of infectious diseases, especially the dynamics at cross-scales.  Before that, she worked on the dynamical modeling of dengue incidence.

Now, she works at the interface between theoretical models and empirical data, focusing on the population dynamics of infectious diseases.  She is particularly interested in examining pathogens across multiple scales, from individual host interactions to broader population-level dynamics, with a special focus on the influence of human behavior.  Additionally, she investigates in vivo biological data to deepen her understanding of disease mechanisms.
