Gefei Wang

Assistant Professor

Home

I am currently an Assistant Professor in the School of Data Science at Fudan University.

Before that, I was a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Biostatistics at Yale University, advised by Prof. Hongyu Zhao. I received my Ph.D. from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2023, under the supervision of Prof. Can Yang and Prof. Yang Wang.

Our group develops machine learning, artificial intelligence, and statistical methods, with applications in computational biology and biomedical data science. We are particularly interested in developing AI-driven computational methods for single-cell and spatial omics, including generative modeling and foundation models, to understand biological systems and human disease.

We are actively looking for motivated people to join our group. If you are interested, please send me your CV via email.
