Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolYiren Zhang is a materials and biomaterials researcher with seven years of hands-on experience in scaffold fabrication, mechanical testing, and cell studies for bone tissue engineering, currently a Research Assistant in Dr. Yu’s lab at Stevens Institute of Technology. Trained with an MS in Materials Science and pursuing a PhD in Chemistry, Yiren has driven projects developing bio-mimetic PCL/HA and PCL-PLGA-β-TCP multispiral scaffolds, handling everything from electrospinning and dissolution testing to calcium quantification and data analysis. Based in the New York City area, he blends rigorous lab technique with quantitative analysis and a steady record of experimental optimization. Less expectedly for a bench scientist, he also contributes to low-level systems software on GitHub, working on IPC and socket features in a Rust reimplementation of the Zircon microkernel, showing a rare cross-disciplinary curiosity between materials science and systems programming.
