Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYucheng Yang is a research-focused PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering at Columbia University with a strong interdisciplinary foundation in chemistry and chemical engineering. He specializes in porous organic frameworks (MOFs/COFs) and 2D nanomaterials applied to BioMEMS, biosensors, and battery interfaces, where his work has shown COF films can selectively transport Li+ and suppress dendrite growth in anode-free cells. With a decade of hands-on lab experience across Columbia, Southeast University, CUHK-Shenzhen and Northwestern, he combines advanced materials synthesis, device fabrication, and characterization (SEM/TEM, XRD, XPS, BET, etc.) with computational modeling using LAMMPS and MD. Notably, he helped develop rapid MOF electrode membranes for biosensors and optimized COF morphology to meaningfully extend battery cycle life, reflecting a practical bent towards translational outcomes. Comfortable in both wet lab and simulation environments, he also codes in C++ and contributes backend-focused projects on GitHub, bridging experimental research with reproducible computational workflows.
