From 1999 to 2002, he was a graduate student in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Washington, Seattle, under the guidance of Prof. Younan Xia. In 2003, he became a postdoctoral fellow at Prof. Paul Alivisatos’ group at the University of California, Berkeley. Soon he joined the Molecular Foundry at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, as initially a postdoctoral fellow and then a staff scientist. Since 2006, he has been a faculty member at the Department of Chemistry, University of California, Riverside, and then in 2014, he became a professor.  Prof. Yin has received a number of national awards, including Cottrell Scholar Award from the Research Corporation for Science Advancement,DuPont Young Professor Grant, 3M Nontenured Faculty Grant, the Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation, the Distinguished Junior Faculty Award from the Chinese-American Chemistry Professor Association, Top 100 chemists (#55) , and Top 100 Materials Scientists (#2) in the world, 2000-2010, Ranked by Citation Impact, Thomson Reuters.He is currently an associate editor of the Journal of Materials Chemistry C,and also serves on the editorial board for NPG Asia Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, SCIENCE CHINA Materials, and ChemNanoMat. Moreover, his total publications in peer reviewed journals is 210, the total number of citations is more than 26000 and the H-index impact factor is 72.

 

His research interest focuses on the synthesis, self-assembly, and functionalization of nanostructured materials for atalytic,analytical, and photonic applications.
