Yin-Ting Yeh

Yin-Ting (Tim) Yeh is an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Physics at The Pennsylvania State University, affiliated with the Eberly College of Science. His research focuses on nanotechnology, virus detection, and biomedical engineering, with a strong emphasis on developing novel microfluidic and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technologies for rapid, label-free pathogen identification. His work bridges physics, materials science, and clinical diagnostics.

Yeh's research interests include microfabrication of nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, virus enrichment platforms, and the application of machine learning to interpret optical and spectroscopic data. He has pioneered devices for capturing and analyzing viruses in clinical samples, such as cerebrospinal fluid and blood, with potential for point-of-care diagnostics.

His publications highlight advancements in virus strain identification, nanoparticle-cell interactions, and the use of 2D materials like MoS₂ for functionalization and heterostructure synthesis. While no scientific awards are explicitly listed, his contributions span interdisciplinary fields at the intersection of nanotechnology and healthcare.

Yeh’s lab develops tunable enrichment platforms and integrates microfluidic systems with optical sensing for pathogen detection. Collaborations likely involve clinical and veterinary applications, given work on avian coronaviruses and bat influenza receptors. His address is 205 Osmond Lab, with a mailing address at Davey Lab, Penn State.
