Yuzi Zhang develops statistical methods for estimating disease occurrence and population sizes when data are incomplete or error-prone, with a focus on capture-recapture models used in disease surveillance. This work is applied to problems such as tracking infectious disease case counts, estimating excess deaths, and studying environmental and climate-related health effects like heat exposure and hospitalization risk. The research combines biostatistics, epidemiology, and applied probability methods relevant to public health monitoring.
