Jing Yu is an Associate Professor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. He obtained his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of California, Santa Barbara, in 2012, under the supervision of Prof Jacob Israelachivli. Dr. Yu did his postdoc at Caltech (2013-2014) and University of Chicago (2014-2017). In 2017, he became an Assistant Professor at NTU. He is a Singapore National Research Foundation (NRF) Fellow, Class of 2019, which allows him to explore interdisciplinary research in Singapore. The goal of Jing’s research is to characterize the dynamic properties of interfaces with hierarchical structures and to gain molecular-level control of soft interfaces to enable the design of integrated, multifunctional interfaces.

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. His work has appeared in various top journals, including Science, Nat Nano, Nat Chem Bio, PNAS, Nat Comm, Sci Adv, JACS, Adv Mater, etc.
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, X-ray and neutron scattering.
