Ziheng Yang FRS (Chinese: 杨子恒; born 1 November 1964) is a Chinese biologist, and R A Fisher Chair of Statistical Genetics,[1] at University College London, and Professor since 2001.[2] He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2006.[2] He was awarded the 2010 Frink Medal.[3]
Life
Yang graduated from Gansu Agricultural University with a BSc in 1984, and from Beijing Agricultural University with a Msc in 1987, and PhD in 1992.[4]
He was co-organizer of the 2008 "Statistical and computational challenges in molecular phylogenetics and evolution" conference at the Royal Society.[5]
Since 2009, he has been a co-organizer of an annual workshop on Computational Molecular Evolution (CoME), which has been running in Sanger/Hinxton in odd years and in Hiraklion, Crete in even years. [6]
