Katherine Min Jia

I am a Postdoctoral Associate at the Boston University School of Public Health. I am an infectious disease epidemiologist who develops and applies causal inference methods to evaluate the effectiveness of pharmaceuticals and to quantify the impact of health policies. My research includes studies on vaccines, antiviral treatments, and strategies to optimize infectious disease control programs. I also have extensive experience collaborating with state, federal, and international organizations.

I received my PhD in Epidemiology and MS in Biostatistics from Harvard University in 2025. I also hold an MS in Epidemiology from Imperial College London (2020) and a BS in Public Health with a minor in Mathematics from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (2019).
