Biography
Dr. Xin Yong received his bachelor's degree in Physics from Peking University in China (2007), and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (2012). His thesis was focused on revealing the underlying physics of slip at fluid-solid interfaces and designing nanoengineered low-friction surfaces by molecular simulations. Before joining the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Binghamton University, he was a postdoctoral associate at the University of Pittsburgh, where he applied various computational techniques to design bio-inspired functional materials, including regenerative nanocomposites, self-healing nanocarriers, and bioconjugate polymer systems.
Research Interest
Computational modeling and simulations, micro-/nanofluidics, stimuli-responsive soft materials, interfacial phenomena
