Zhibin Yu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, Florida State University, and is affiliated with the Materials Science and Engineering program and the High-Performance Materials Institute. He received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2010, an M.S. in Polymer Science and Engineering from Tsinghua University, China in 2003, and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the same institution in 2001. Yu's career trajectory includes postdoctoral research at UC Berkeley's Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences (2011-2014) and UCLA's Materials Science and Engineering (2010-2011), as well as industry roles as a process engineer at ST Microelectronics, Singapore (2003-2005), and research scientist intern at Pavad Medical Inc., California (2007-2008). He joined Florida State University in August 2014, where he leads the Yu Lab.
His research interests include printed electronics, composites for electronics and optics, additive thin-film manufacturing, advanced composites for radiation detection, photo-responsive materials, organohalide and polymer composites, perovskite devices, and conjugated polymers. Yu has been honored with the Air Force YIP Award (2016), FSU FYAP Award (2015), and UCLA Chancellor’s Scholarship (2006-2008). Select publications encompass 'Highly Flexible Silver Nanowire Electrodes for Shape-Memory Polymer Light-Emitting Diodes' (Advanced Materials, 2011), 'Fully Printed Stretchable Thin-Film Transistors and Integrated Logic Circuits' (ACS Nano, 2016), and recent works on polymer-derived ceramic composites (2023) and flexible halide perovskite solar cells (2020). His scholarship has amassed over 11,600 citations, underscoring his influence in advanced manufacturing and flexible electronics.
