Yu Jing

Jing Yu is an Associate Professor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. He obtained his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of California, Santa Barbara, in 2012, under the supervision of Prof Jacob Israelachivli. Dr. Yu did his postdoc at Caltech (2013-2014) and University of Chicago (2014-2017). In 2017, he became an Assistant Professor at NTU. He is a Singapore National Research Foundation (NRF) Fellow, Class of 2019, which allows him to explore interdisciplinary research in Singapore. The goal of Jing’s research is to characterize the dynamic properties of interfaces with hierarchical structures and to gain molecular-level control of soft interfaces to enable the design of integrated, multifunctional interfaces.
