Prof. Jun Yang Joined WPI following her position as a postdoctoral associate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she worked on the mesoscale modeling of cell biomechanics and rheology with particle based method at Nanomechanics Laboratory. Her experience on multiscale modeling is in smoothed dissipative particle dynamics (SDPD) method, smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), dissipative particle dynamics (DPD), mechanobiology of sickle cell anemia, theoretical and computational modeling for evaluating biomechanical and biophysical properties of healthy and diseased cells.
