Wei Deng

Assistant Professor (Part-Time), Psychiatry & Behavioural Neurosciences

I study the biological and statistical foundations of decision-making traits and their impact on health. My research integrates statistical genetics, multi-omics, and neuroimaging to understand how traits like impulsivity, delay discounting, and executive function shape behavioral and cardiometabolic outcomes. To advance this goal, I also develop scalable, interpretable models that bridge addiction science, cognitive neuroscience, and precision medicine.
