Dr. Haipeng Yu

Assistant Professor - Artificial Intelligence in Animal Omics Sciences

Dr. Yu holds research and teaching appointments in the Department of Animal Sciences at UF. Dr. Yu is a quantitative geneticist with expertise in accommodating high-dimensional heterogeneous data to advance animal sciences. His research primarily focuses on the incorporation of multi-omics data to solve agricultural problems using machine learning, statistical modeling, and computational methods.

• Research Summary

  The primary research interest in Dr. Yu's lab focuses on integrating high-dimensional heterogeneous data to advance animal agriculture. Particularly, our lab is interested in accommodating multi-omics data to address emerging challenges in animal agriculture using machine learning, statistical modeling, and computational methods. Intrigued by precision livestock farming, we are also interested in applying computer vision to acquire high-throughput animal phenomics data (e.g., real-time activity) and using machine learning to incorporate the high-dimensional sensor data into our research.
