Yun Deng

I am currently a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Genetics at Stanford University, working with Jonathan Pritchard. I received my Ph.D. in Computational Biology from the University of California, Berkeley, where I worked with Rasmus Nielsen and Yun S. Song.

I am broadly interested in the intersection of mathematics, computer science, and biology. My research focuses on developing statistical and computational methods for understanding evolutionary biology and population genetics.

I will join the Baker Institute for Animal Health and the Department of Biomedical and Translational Sciences at Cornell University as an Assistant Professor in April 2027.
