Before joining the George Institute for Global Health, he subsequently held research posts at the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, and Cancer Research UK Beatson Institute. 

Zhangyi's work in clinical trials includes the development of statistical approaches for adaptive trial designs and dose-finding studies in both Bayesian and frequentist frameworks. He is also known for his contributions to developing a series of statistical methods for inferring selection from temporally spaced genetic samples, especially their applications in ancient DNA and experimental evolution studies.
