Qingsong Yu

Qingsong Yu is Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Missouri with courtesy appointment in Biomedical Engineering. His research focuses on non-thermal plasma applications in biomedical engineering and materials science, particularly plasma medicine for dental/medical treatments and advanced nanocoatings. Funded by NSF, NIH, and Boeing, his work spans plasma chemistry, surface modification, and biomaterials development.

Research areas include:

• Plasma-based antimicrobial treatments
• Biocompatible nanocoatings for implants
• Nonthermal plasma dentistry

Recent publications demonstrate consistent focus on plasma surface engineering for medical applications, with increasing emphasis on dental biofilms and orthopedic implants. His group develops plasma-activated liquids and nanoscale coatings that combine antibacterial properties with tissue integration capabilities.
