Ziping Ye

Ziping Ye is a postdoctoral researcher with PPML. She specializes in the development of decision-making models to support disease prevention programs. Her main research focuses on the development of simulation models for HIV, hepatitis C (HCV) and substance use. 

She has been evaluating the impact of HCV screening and treatment interventions within the California prison system, focusing on the effectiveness and broader public health implications. This work has strengthened her dedication to improving health outcomes among individuals who are incarcerated or have a history of incarceration, a group that faces higher rates of infection and often has limited access to medical care. Growing up in a low-income community, she saw firsthand how income, education, and social circumstances shape health. These experiences have motivated her to focus on reaching groups that are frequently overlooked, such as people affected by incarceration, with the goal of increasing access to healthcare and advocating for better health for all.

She has also conducted research on cost-effectiveness thresholds, health outcomes, and health burden surveys. Previously, Dr. Ye served as a lecturer at the School of Public Administration at Hainan University. She holds a PhD in Pharmacy Administration with a concentration in Pharmacoeconomics from Shenyang Pharmaceutical University.
