Purdue University West Lafayette, Xijing University

Yingjie Chen's research contributions span various fields, including materials science, biomedical engineering, and environmental sciences. In materials science, Chen has developed ultra-broadband and wide-angle solar absorbers for all-mxene grating metamaterials and tunable broadband absorbers with high thermal emissivity. In biomedical engineering, their bioinspired l‐lysine‐doped polydopamine prevents UV-induced skin damage, while their work on Connexin 43 explores its role in osteocyte function and homeostasis. Additionally, Chen's research has addressed precision medicine for chronic kidney disease using visual clinical decision support systems, tackled antibiotic resistance with a single-center retrospective analysis, and investigated environmental pollutants like n-nitrosamines in wastewater treatment plants. Overall, their work highlights the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to address pressing scientific challenges, from energy and materials development to human health and environmental sustainability.
