Prof. Yeo’s research focuses on computational design of engineered living materials, particularly bacteria-based systems and biopolymers. His lab employs multiscale simulations—from quantum mechanics to continuum modeling—and integrates machine learning and materials informatics to accelerate discovery. Key areas include nanomechanics of mucus-bacteria interactions, mucoadhesive biomaterials, sustainable materials, and living materials for gut health and infrastructure. The lab pioneers AI-driven frameworks for materials-by-design, aiming to advance a "Materials 4.0" paradigm.
The lab’s recent publications reveal a strong trend in AI-enhanced materials discovery, bio-inspired soft materials, and biomechanical modeling of biological systems. Themes include antimicrobial surfaces, solid electrolytes, hydrogels, and sustainable carbon materials. The work is highly interdisciplinary, combining physics, biology, and computation.
Notable scientific awards include:
- NSF CAREER Award (2024)
- Dennis G. Shepherd Excellence in Teaching Award, Cornell College of Engineering (2023)
- ASME Rising Star in Mechanical Engineering
- Emerging Investigator, Journal of Materials Chemistry B (2020)
- Multiple NSF grants including EFRI and Convergence Accelerator awards
Prof. Yeo has advised numerous PhD, MS, and undergraduate students, including the lab’s first PhD graduates, Drs. Haoyuan Shi and Tianjiao Li. His research is supported by NSF, Cornell, and international seed grants. He serves on editorial boards for STEM Education and International Journal of AI for Materials and Design, reflecting his dual commitment to research and education innovation.
The J² Lab is part of the Cornell Engineered Living Materials Institute and collaborates with researchers at MIT, Montana State University, Zhejiang University, and others. The lab emphasizes interdisciplinary teamwork, computational rigor, and socially impactful science.
