Dr. Jing Yu is an assistant professor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore. He graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a PhD in Chemical Engineering (2012). His PhD research focused on the nanomechanics of biomaterials and biomimetics. He conducted experimental and theoretical studies on both mussel and gecko adhesive systems, and developed bio-inspired polymer surfaces and nano-structured materials. Following his PhD, Dr. Yu did a postdoc with Prof. James Heath at California Institute of Technology, where he worked on engineered T cell immunotherapy. In 2014, Dr. Yu expanded his research interests towards polyelectrolytes brushes during his postdoc with Prof. Matthew Tirrell at the University of Chicago.
The overall goal of Dr. Jing Yu’s research is to characterize the dynamic properties of interfaces with hierarchical structures, and to gain molecular-level control of soft interfaces to enable design of integrated, multifunctional interfaces. Dr. Yu’s research interests include non-equilibrium properties of functional soft interfaces for energy and biomedical applications, bioinspired materials and biomimetics, nanomechanics, intermolecular interactions, adhesion and friction, self-assembly of supramolecular structures, and X-ray and neutron scattering.
