Do Y. Yoon
Affiliate, Chemical Engineering
BioDo Y. Yoon is Adjunct Professor of Chemical Engineering at Stanford University since 2012. He obtained his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Seoul National University, Korea (1969), and earned his Ph.D. in Polymer Science and Engineering from University of Massachusetts Amherst, working with Richard S. Stein (1973). He did his postdoctoral study with Paul J. Flory in Chemistry Department of Stanford University (1973-1975). He then worked in IBM Research Laboratory in San Jose, California as Research Staff Member and Manager of Polymer Physics Group (1975-1999). From 1999 to 2012, he was Professor of Chemistry at Seoul National University, Korea, and served as the Korean spokesperson of the Germany-Korea International Research Training Group on “Self-organized Materials for Optoelectronics” (2006-2012) and also as member of science advisory board of LG Chem (2000-2006). He published about 260 research papers (h-index of 75 and about 20,000 citations), was elected a fellow of American Physical Society (1985), and received Humboldt Research Award by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany (1999) and Academic Achievements Award from the Alumni Association of Seoul National University (2017). His research areas included molecular conformations & dynamics, semicrystalline molecular morphology, liquid crystalline state, surface and thin film characteristics of polymers, and structure-property relationships of polymers for information technology, organic electronics, and clean energy. He is a co-editor of "Selected Works of Paul J. Flory" and a co-author of "Paul John Flory: A Life of Science and Friends."

Jeongwoong Yoon (Yoon)
Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2023
BioMy previous research focused on the development of toolkit for marine bivalve cell culture and transgene expression. Inspired by the experience, I am seeking to find efficient and universally applicable methods to study non-model organisms that lack research infrastructure. As a biologist, I am exploring how we can rewrite genetic code to understand and engineer multicellular body plan, harnessing synthetic biology and genomics tools.

Angelina You
Masters Student, Management Science and Engineering
BioAngelina is a MS student in Management Science & Engineering at Stanford University, specializing in technology and engineering management. She is passionate about leveraging technology and analytics to address societal issues and assist the underprivileged. She has four years of data science and product experience at Meta and two other high-growth tech startups but she is also interested in entrepreneurship. Outside of work, she serves as a project-client manager for Statistics Without Borders and co-leads a graduate student startup community at Stanford. An explorer at heart, Angelina has a wide range of interests, including dancing, boxing, cooking, traveling, and cuddling with her baby Yorkie, Yoyo.

Yaochun Yu
Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioMy research focuses on functional environmental microbiology and environmental analytical chemistry to uncover and harness microorganisms for chemical biotransformation. We integrate high-resolution mass spectrometry, meta-omics sequencing, molecular microbiology and biochemistry, and computational modeling to identify the functional microbes, genes, and enzymes that drive these processes. Building on these mechanistic insights, we aim to develop environmentally benign chemicals and novel biosolutions for bioremediation and waste-to-resource recovery.
I am also interested in how anthropogenic perturbations (i.e., chemical exposure) reshape microbial biodiversity and ecosystem function across natural and engineered ecosystems. We aim to resolve these cause–effect relationships and, using standardized and synthetic microbial communities, run comparable, hypothesis-driven experiments that translate fundamental insights into predictive tools and practical interventions. The aim is to help keep human activities within the safe operating space of planetary boundaries while advancing environmental and public health.
