Really enjoyed presenting at the Columbia Global Research Stabilization Fund Spring Showcase today. RSF’s support last year was critical in keeping our epidemic forecasting work moving. Inspired by the breadth of research and looking forward to what comes next!

Honored to be elected as a Steering Committee Member of @MIDAS_Network

Grateful to give back to a community that has shaped my career, and looking forward to supporting early-career investigators and strengthening engagement with international scholars.

📢 I'm recruiting a postdoc to start in summer 2026! My lab is part of @Berkeley_EECS, @UCJointCPH & @berkeley_ai. We're looking for candidates in AI & society, with projects on the societal impacts of gen AI (collaborating w/ real-world orgs) and modeling human behavior with AI!

H1N1 and COVID-19 spread fast in U.S. cities—often before interventions kicked in. Air travel & key metro hubs drove early transmission. Wastewater surveillance could help slow the next pandemic. @PNASNews @SenPei_CU https://t.co/TMilhbIkXm

[Sen Pei @SenPei_CU]

Takeaway: Pandemic respiratory viruses spread fast, often before we can clearly detect them. Preparedness needs to plan for uncertainty, and surveillance must be broad, not just focused on a few major hubs.

Grateful to an amazing group of collaborators across institutions!

[Sen Pei @SenPei_CU]

Excited to share a new study published in PNAS! @PNASNews

We reconstructed the early, cryptic spatial spread of 2009 H1N1 influenza and SARS-CoV-2 across US metropolitan areas.

We also ran simulations for future pandemics. Results suggest that wastewater surveillance limited to a few major hubs isn’t enough - broader coverage is needed to meaningfully slow early geographic spread.

[Sen Pei @SenPei_CU]

2025 was a challenging year for many of us. As the year comes to a close, let's pause to recognize and celebrate every accomplishment and milestone, big or small. Each step forward matters.

As we head into 2026, let’s keep climbing with aspiration, resilience, and strength!

[Sen Pei @SenPei_CU]

I am teaching Introduction to Network Science for a third year at Mailman! @ColumbiaMSPH Very grateful to have positive evaluations from students with diverse backgrounds. Welcome to join this small-size, engaged course if you are interested in networks and systems thinking!

[Sen Pei @SenPei_CU]

Very interesting study on respiratory virus transmission in schools!

"Prolonged exposure in shared, poorly ventilated spaces, which potentially includes several infectious sources, drives respiratory virus transmission more than close contact."

🦠 Pandemics don’t spread randomly - they follow the paths we create through our social lives and movements.
