Dr. Yin received his Ph.D. in Engineering Mechanics from Columbia University and M.S. in Solid Mechanics from Tsinghua University. Prior to join NC State, he worked as a Postdoctoral Associate at MIT and an Assistant and Associate Professor at Temple University. He is the recipient of the Cozzarelli Prize from the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), NSF CAREER Award, and Extreme Mechanics Letters (EML) Young Investigator Award.
Yin group’s research is on both fundamental mechanics and functionality of novel materials and structures at all scales (https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=OorAZMgAAAAJ).
Currently, it focuses on mechanics and design of mechanical metamaterials, mechanics guided design of soft robotics, and multifunctional interfacial materials. Presently, he studies reconfigurable kirigami-based architected materials for achieving unprecedented properties and functionalities. He also studies the mechanics guided design of high-performance soft robotics in both manipulation and locomotion for achieving high force, high speed, and high strength. Another topic is shape-morphing materials and structures for sustainable energy and environments. All of these topics are investigated through combining theoretical modeling, numerical simulation, and experimental techniques.
