Yu Huang (黄宇 born 1998 in Shanghai China) is a scientist working in the field of population genetics and bioinformatics.

Scientific career
Yu Huang graduated from Fudan University in 2003, major in biology. Disenchanted with the strong emphasis on memorization for biology courses and tedious experiments, he was happy to get into the bioinformatics program at USC in 2003, going back to his high-school interest, computer and mathematics. Wandering in the computational biology department at USC for a few years, he ended up in the lab of Prof. Magnus Nordborg in Feb 2007, which turned out to be a great fit and re-ignited his interest in research.
