T (Tianjian) Qin

My research interests lie in theoretical biology, with a focus on network modeling and inference for livestock trade and infectious disease transmission.

Prior to joining Wageningen University, I specialized in phylogenetics and diversification models, using stochastic processes and machine learning to examine global biodiversity patterns.

My goal is to unify empirical research with robust theoretical frameworks, ensuring models remain grounded in real-world contexts. Drawing on experiences across 37 countries, I aim to integrate diverse perspectives and develop innovative approaches that deepen our understanding of biological systems.
