Yi Wang

Yi Wang serves as a Guest Researcher at the Section for Geogenetics within the Globe Institute, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. Research focuses on sedimentary DNA analysis for reconstructing paleoenvironmental changes in lake ecosystems through genetic traces preserved in geological archives.

Primary research interests include paleogenetics, environmental DNA, and ancient DNA applications. Wang investigates DNA preservation mechanisms in lake sediments, taxon-specific distribution patterns, and methodological advancements for tracking historical biodiversity shifts. Work integrates genomic techniques with paleoenvironmental reconstruction to decode long-term ecosystem dynamics from sediment cores.

2023 publications reveal concentrated expertise in intra-lake scale sedimentary DNA distribution and future methodological frameworks. Research bridges paleoenvironmental science and environmental genetics, demonstrating how sedimentary DNA spatial patterns reflect local ecological conditions and enabling precise historical environmental reconstructions.
