Bio
Kylee Hoffman is a PhD student in the Demography Department at UC Berkeley, where she is advised by Dr. Ayesha Mahmud. Kylee’s research incorporates demographic modeling and statistical methods to examine how individual-level dynamics shape population health, specifically focusing on how shared immune histories influence broader patterns in infectious disease mortality. In one line of work, she investigates how childhood immune imprinting shapes population-level cohort trends in U.S. influenza mortality. Another current project explores how measles-induced “immune amnesia” contributes to overall infectious disease mortality in Brazil. At Berkeley, she is a Computational Social Science fellow and Mentored Research Award recipient. Prior to Berkeley, she received her BA in Geography and Data Science from the University of Washington.
