About Jingjie Yeo

Prof. Jingjie Yeo is an assistant professor in Cornell University’s Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. He is the Principal Investigator at the J² Lab for Engineering Living Materials. The overarching goal of his research program is to lead advances in computationally designing and characterizing environmentally sustainable materials, with a focus on bacteria-based engineered living materials (ELMs) and the biopolymers that they produce. He is also a co-instructor in Station1, a social nonprofit organization dedicated to building the foundations of the university of the future through educational opportunity and socially-directed frontier STEM education, research, and internships. Prof. Jingjie Yeo is the recipient of multiple awards, including the NSF\'s most prestigious award, the NSF CAREER award, and the highest teaching award in Cornell\'s College of Engineering, the Dennis G. Shepherd Excellence in Teaching Award. Before joining Cornell University in 2020, Prof. Yeo was a research scientist in the Institute of High Performance Computing, Singapore where he helped develop cutting-edge, silk-based cosmeceuticals. Prior, he was a postdoc at both Tufts University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he developed and performed numerous multiscale simulations with density functional theory and fully-atomistic to coarse-grained molecular dynamics modeling on a broad variety of biomaterials such as squid skin, silk and silk-elastin-like proteins, and graphene. He received both his Ph.D. and his B.Eng. degrees from the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in Nanyang Technological University Singapore.
