معرفی
Yimin Luo is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at Yale University, with an additional appointment in Chemical & Environmental Engineering. His research focuses on soft matter systems, including colloids, liquid crystals, and cell-material interactions. Luo leads the Luo Research Group, which develops high-throughput experimental methods and integrates statistical models to advance material processing and hierarchical structure assembly.
Education: B.S., Rice University (2013); Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania (2018). Key awards include the Woman Interactive Materials Award Finalist (2021) and MIT ChemE Rising Stars Symposium Finalist (2018). His work spans directed assembly, rheology of suspensions, and active colloids, with applications in biomaterials and nanotechnology.
Research interests emphasize experimental soft matter systems such as shear-induced particle rearrangements, active colloidal collective behaviors, and cell-substrate interactions. Recent work includes studies on cell-sheet transformation via oriented forces and uncertainty quantification in microscopy analysis. The group actively collaborates on complex fluid studies, hosting events like the NECF Workshop at Yale.
Affiliations include Yale’s Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science. He currently seeks postdoctoral scholars, graduate students, and undergraduates for interdisciplinary projects in soft matter and materials engineering.
