Bibliography

Yun Wang is a leading expert in dark energy research, with over thirty refereed publications on this subject. She has worked on advancing the methods for interpreting dark energy data, and developing optimal observational strategies for probing the nature of dark energy. She is an associate professor at the University of Oklahoma. Before that, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Fermilab Astrophysics Center and the Department of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton University.
