Ye Deng was graduated from Central South Univ. in 2002 and gained his Ph.D degree in biochemistry and molecular biology at Zhejiang Univ., 2007. From 2007 to 2014, he worked as Post-Doc and research scientist at Univ. of Oklahoma, USA. Since May 2014, he has worked in RCEES under 100 Talent Program as full professor.
His studies are related with microbial ecology in various natural ecosystems. By developing a series of high-throughput molecular approaches, he studied the biogeography and functions of environmental microbiomes under global changes and pollution processes. He published more than 140 peer-reviewed papers in various journals, including Science, Ecol Lett., Nat. Climate Change, Nat. Communications, PNAS, et al., with more than 6000 citations (H-index 41).
