Yuk Fai Leung's research uses zebrafish (a small fish commonly used as a model organism in biology) to study eye development and disease, particularly retinal degeneration and related eye disorders like coloboma, microphthalmia, and cataract. More recently, the work has expanded into developing computational and statistical methods, such as tensor analysis and mixed models, to analyze large-scale animal behavior data, including how zebrafish respond to radio frequency radiation and potential therapeutic compounds.
