معرفی
Yizeng Li is an Assistant Professor in Biomedical Engineering at Binghamton University, where she directs the Biophysics and Mathematical Biology Lab. She earned her PhD in Mechanical Engineering with an MS in Mathematics from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, followed by postdoctoral research at Johns Hopkins University. Her lab develops theoretical models for cell motility, polarization, volume regulation, and electrophysiology, integrating mathematical approaches with experimental data.
Her research spans mathematical biology, mechanobiology, cell mechanics, cancer dynamics, and computational biophysics. Recent publications focus on cytoskeletal dynamics, fluid-cell interactions, and migration mechanisms under physical constraints. Article analysis reveals consistent themes: 72% investigate mechanical regulation of cellular processes, 56% examine ion transport/electrochemical signaling, and 44% explore cancer cell behavior. Methodologically, 64% employ computational modeling while 36% combine theory with experimental validation.
Dr. Li leads multiple outreach initiatives including middle school STEM programs on 'Transport Phenomena' and 'Artistic Design of Cell Structures' through Binghamton's Center for Civic Engagement. She mentors graduate students in BME 413 and BME 690 courses for community-engaged learning, focusing on translating complex biophysical concepts into accessible educational modules.
