Summary
Yongfeng Zhao is a postdoctoral researcher with 11 years of experience applying quantitative and computational methods to biophysics and systems biology, currently based at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He holds a PhD in Physics from The University of Hong Kong and has a strong technical toolbox spanning mathematical modeling, C++, OpenMP, MPI, CUDA, and Matlab, enabling him to build high-performance simulations of complex biological systems. His research trajectory includes work on bacterial pattern formation and transcription network modeling across labs at Université Paris Diderot and Peking University, showing a blend of theoretical insight and computational rigor. Comfortable bridging physics and biology, he often translates mechanistic hypotheses into scalable code—an uncommon combination that speeds hypothesis testing and reproducibility in microscopic-to-macroscopic biological problems.
