About the author
Dr. Yu grew up in Hangzhou, a beautiful city in eastern China. He received his B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from Tsinghua University, China and his PhD in Chemical Engineering from University of California, Santa Barbara. Dr. Yu fell in love with the great sunshine and beach of the University of California, Santa Barbara campus during his 5 years PhD where he worked in Professor Jacob Israelachvili’s group. Yu conducted and pioneered outstanding research in many important areas including the wet adhesion of marine mussel adhesive proteins. Yu’s work has been recognized by multiple international journals and online media sources including Nature, Chemical Biology, ABC Science and the Faculty of 100.
