Biography
Dr. Bin Yang holds a B.S. degree in Photonics from Jiangsu University (2007) and Wilfrid Laurier University (2008), an M.S. degree in Optics from the University of Rochester (2009), and a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin (2015). Following a brief venture into industry, he embarked on postdoctoral training in ophthalmic imaging at the University of Pittsburgh in 2016. In August 2019, Dr. Yang joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering as an Assistant Professor at Duquesne University. Dr. Yang's research is dedicated to harnessing the power of light to address current biomedical challenges. Dr. Yang has developed an array of imaging techniques including multispectral imaging, polarized light imaging, and structured light illumination imaging, applicable in both basic science and translational research. Recently, Dr. Yang has broadened his research scope to include 3D bioprinting and regenerative medicine.
