ZhiYi Yu

ZhiYi Yu is a Researcher in the Department of Molecular Biosciences at the University of Glasgow. Her research focuses on plant responses to elevated atmospheric CO₂ and salinity stress, particularly examining stomatal regulation and membrane trafficking mechanisms. She is based in Lab 308, Bower Building, Glasgow, UK.

• Research Interests: Plants in a changing climate, CO₂-sensitive stomatal control, salinity stress adaptation.
• Teaching: Graduate Teaching Assistant (2020-2021), Demonstrator in molecular biology, engineering biology, and bioinformatics labs (2020-2024).
