Sofia JIJON ALBAN, PhD

I am a quantitative epidemiologist with over 8 years of experience developing infectious-disease models to support public health decision-making. My work has primarily focused on preventive interventions, including studies of behavioral dynamics, epidemic elimination and (re)emergence, and economic evaluations—often in interdisciplinary settings.

Born and raised in Quito, Ecuador, I earned my PhD in Epidemiology at Sorbonne Université, Paris, France, and also held postdoctoral positions. I recently moved to the United States, where I briefly worked at the CDC and am currently transitioning toward new opportunities in infectious disease modeling to inform public health policy.
