معرفی
Jing Ding is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at Kansas State University's College of Engineering. He earned his Ph.D. in Power Engineering and Engineering Thermophysics from Xi’an Jiaotong University in 2020 and joined Kansas State University in 2021 as a postdoctoral fellow before being promoted to his current position in 2024.
Education:
- Ph.D., Power Engineering and Engineering Thermophysics, Xi’an Jiaotong University, 2020
- B.S., Energy and Power System and Automation, Xi’an Jiaotong University, 2013
His research focuses on electromicrofluidic (EMF) technologies, leveraging electrokinetic phenomena such as electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) and dielectrophoresis (DEP) to manipulate fluids, particles, cells, and molecules. These technologies are applied in disease diagnosis, environmental monitoring, and biomanufacturing. A key innovation in his work involves sensing gel techniques that amplify single-cell signals in hydrogel films, enabling precise quantification and characterization of pathogens and cancer cells. He is also developing triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) that convert mechanical energy into electricity via triboelectrification and electrostatic induction, aiming to create self-powered EMF platforms.
While specific publication titles are not listed, Dr. Ding has authored over 18 peer-reviewed papers, indicating a strong and consistent research output in microfluidics and bio-sensing domains.
