JIE YINDepartment of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics I am currently a Ph.D candidate in Prof. Xi Chen's group at Columbia University from September 2007. Prior to Columbia, I got my Master's degree in Engineering Mechanics from Tsinghua University in January 2007. My research interests are on mechanical self-assembly, mechanics of growth and morphology, and mechanobiology. Our researches focus on the application of solid mechanics to the understanding of intriguing patterns and morphologies observed in nature and engineering. We employ theoretical, experimental and numerical methods (mainly Finite Element Method) to investigate the governing mechanisms of these problems. The main topics we are studying are the following:
