Dr. Yifei Jin joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno in July 2019. His primary research interests mainly involve 3D bioprinting of living tissue constructs, 3D printing of hydrophobic functional materials, yield-stress fluids for 3D printing applications, stimuli-responsive materials for 4D printing applications, and fabrication of multi-layered capsules. His research emphasizes the coupling of materials and fabrication approaches to develop novel 3D printing techniques and understand the underlying physics during printing.
Dr. Jin worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Florida since 2018. He received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Florida in 2018, and both M.S. and B.S. degrees in mechanical engineering from the Dalian University of Technology, Dalian, China in 2010 and 2008, respectively
- Ph.D., Mechanical Engineering, University of Florida, 2018
- M.S., Mechanical Engineering, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian, China, 2010
- B.S., Mechanical Engineering, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian, China, 2008
Prospective graduate students
We have one Ph.D. position available starting spring 2023 or fall 2023. We are looking for highly motivated students with a background in mechanical engineering, materials science, biomedical engineering or any related area. Interested students are encouraged to send your CV to Dr. Jin (yifeij@unr.edu).
Master's degree students and undergraduates are encouraged to contact Dr. Jin for part-time research opportunities.
Visiting scholars are welcome to contact Dr. Jin.
