​My name is Lu Yang, under which papers are published,
but I go by Ling ;-)

I'm a PhD student in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University. Following my advisor Peter Andolfatto's move, I now work at Columbia University as a visiting graduate student. 

My research focuses on the evolution of toxin resistance in insects and vertebrates. By combining genomic tools and gene editing, I want to understand the genetic basis of adaptive traits and how adaptation is constrained. 

Prior to graduate school, I went to Peking University for undergraduate. I worked as a part-time photographer and graphic designer back then.
