Bio Sketch 🌟

Dr. Yang Wei’s journey in bioengineering began at Tung-Hai University, where he was inspired by Dr. Fan-Chiang Yang’s research on Ganoderma in submerged cultures. His pursuit of innovative biomimetic materials led him through Cheng-Kung University, focusing on adsorbent design for protein separation under Dr. Mei-Jywan Syu’s mentorship. Dr. Wei earned his Ph.D. in Bioengineering at Clemson University, exploring molecular structures and bioactivities of adsorbed proteins with Prof. Robert Latour. As a post-doctoral researcher at U.C. Berkeley and Clemson University, he advanced biophysical studies of mussel adhesive proteins and biomaterial surfaces.

Now an Associate Professor at NTUT, Taipei, Taiwan, Dr. Wei leads pioneering research:

1. Bioinspired Adhesive Designs: Harnessing mussel foot proteins for adhesive materials.
2. Sustainable Keratin Designs: Developing composite hydrogels from recycled keratins for enhanced properties.
3. Surface Friction and Hydrophobicity: Investigating tear protein side chains’ impact on surface properties.

Dr. Wei’s contributions in bioengineering promise transformative biomimetic technologies, shaping the future of sustainable materials.
