Yi Chen is an Assistant Professor of Economics at Cornell University's College of Arts and Sciences. He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from Yale University (2018), with earlier degrees including a B.S. and B.A. from Peking University (2009), and multiple advanced degrees from Yale (2016-2018). His research focuses on information economics, integrating theoretical and applied approaches to principal-agent problems, dynamic games, and information design. He also explores interdisciplinary topics in molecular biology and genetics, including RNA-mediated epigenetic regulation and chromatin architecture.
His work spans economics and biological sciences, with notable contributions to understanding Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) function in stem cells, RNA-dependent chromatin interactions, and CRISPR-based mutagenesis techniques. Recent research highlights include studies on H3K27 methylation dynamics and the role of noncoding RNAs in transcriptional regulation.
While no formal advising roles or grants are listed, his research intersects economics theory with molecular mechanisms, reflecting a unique interdisciplinary perspective. No specific lab affiliations or teams are mentioned in the provided materials.
