Yan, Zijie - - Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry

个人简介

Dr. Yan obtained his PhD in Materials Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2011. He was a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Chicago before joining the Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at Clarkson University in 2015.

研究领域

We develop new experimental techniques to control light-matter interactions at the micron and nanometer scale. In particular, we use advanced optical tweezers to precisely manipulate nanoscopic objects and create artificial material assemblies with emergent properties. Our research topics include: Optical trapping, optical binding, and optical sorting Advanced laser beam shaping Optofluidics Electrodynamics simulations
