Yaochun Yu
Acting Assistant Professor, 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. -
Chik Patrick Yue
Visiting Professor, Electrical Engineering
BioProf. Yue received the Master and PhD degrees in EE from Stanford in 1994 and 1998, respectively. He has been a professor for over two decades, and taught IC design classes and conduct research at HKUST (2010-now), UC Santa Barbara (2006-11), Carnegie Mellon (2003-06), Tsinghua (visiting 2016), and Stanford (visiting 1998 & 2025-now). He has supervised over 10 post-docs, 30 PhD and 10 MPhil students. He has published over 250 technical papers, holds over 25 patents and accumulated over 10000 citations. Together with his students and teachers, he has been awarded the IEEE VLSI Circuit Symposium Test of Time Award (2024), the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Outstanding Young Author Award (2017), and the Guanghua Engineering Science and Technology Youth Award by the Chinese Academy of Engineering (2016), and the ISSCC Best Student Paper Award (2003). Over the years, he has cofounded a number of startups in both Silicon Valley and Hong Kong including Atheros Communications (1998), Jetcomm Technologies (2014), LiPHY Communications (2018), and High5 Semiconductor (2024) to commercialize technologies from academic to industry.
Prof. Yue is a Fellow of the IEEE and Optica, and a member of the ACM. He has a diverse research interests spanning from optical wireline and mmWave wireless SoC and SiP design, neural implant microsystems, 3D computer vision models, and power network management system.
