Dr. JIE YIN(Postdoctoral Associate) Yin is currently a Postdoctoral Associate in Prof. Mary C. Boyce's group at MIT. Prior to MIT, Yin received his Ph.D degree in Engineering Mechanics under the supervison of Prof. Xi Chen's at Columbia University in Aug. 2010 and M.S degree in Solid Mechanics at Tsinghua University in Jan 2007. Yin's research interests are on mechanics of multifunctional materials, surfaces, and structures at small scales. Yin uses a combination of experimental measurements, analytical modeling, and numerical simulations to reveal the underlying mechanism and mechanics as well as to apply such mechanisms for their broad engineering applications. In particular, Yin's research focuses on mutlifunctional surfaces and interfaces by harneessing instability, mechanical behaviors of colloidal nanoparticle assembly and composites, mechanics of morphology and growth, design of mechanical self-assembly 2D and 3D microfabrication, etc. If you have interest, you are welcome to visit Research for details.
