Biography
Dr SHI Jingyu is currently a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. She received her B.E. degree in Polymer Materials and Engineering from Sichuan University in 2012. She received her M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees in Biomedical Engineering from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2015 and 2018, respectively. From 2021 to 2023, she served as a postdoctoral fellow at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University under the RGC Postdoctoral Fellowship Scheme (PDFS) 2022/23. Dr Shi's research focuses on developing novel nanomaterial-based nanoprobes and advanced biosensing technologies to achieve highly sensitive and specific detection of biomarkers in complex samples and cells. She is also working on the development of multifunctional nanobiocomposites for precision theranostics. She has published more than 25 papers (including 2 ESI highly cited papers) in SCI journals, such as ACS Nano, Biosensors & Bioelectronics, Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, ACS Sensors, Sensors and Actuators B-Chemical, Journal of Materials Chemistry B, Droplet, Biomicrofluidics, etc. She is also involved in 1 U.K. patent and 1 China patent and has served as a Guest Editor for Bioengineering.
