Dr. Qianbin Wang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. He earned his Ph.D. in Material Physics and Chemistry under the guidance of Prof. Lei Jiang at Beihang University in 2015. Following a one-year postdoctoral training at New York University, he joined Prof. Zhigang He's Lab at Harvard Medical School and Boston Children's Hospital as a postdoctoral fellow. Since 2021, he has been working at the Biomedical Engineering Department at UMass Amherst as a Research Assistant Professor.  

Dr. Wang's research primarily focuses on developing biomechanical platforms to investigate the molecular and genetic mechanisms involved in neural degeneration and regeneration.

Eunji Hong received her B.S. in Nano-Bioengineering at Incheon National University (South Korea) in 2016, and also received M.S. in the same college in 2018. Before joining Binghamton, she has focused on stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems. Eunji is particularly interested in non-viral gene delivery carriers development for neurobiological diseases and the mechanism of gene delivery in nervous systems. She likes watching Netflix, hiking, and hanging out with friends in her spare time.

Wenjie obtained a Bachelor's degree in Food Science and Engineering from Qingdao Agricultural University in 2021 and a Master's degree in Agricultural Products Processing and Storage Engineering from Bohai University in 2024. She specialized in the extraction and purification of natural bioactive compounds and the development of smart active packaging materials. Her research focuses on developing soft optical materials for biomedical imaging applications. In her spare time, she enjoys music, photography, and dining out with friends.

Ian Kim is in the Biomedical Engineering 4+1 program and is expected to graduate in Spring 2026. His concentration is in biomedical instruments. Ian's current research interests are developing a microporous hydrogel contact lens and diagnosing methods of glaucoma with differential ERG. In his spare time, he likes cooking, playing musical instruments, and running.

Chen Lin is currently pursuing a master's degree in Biomedical Engineering, with an anticipated graduation date of Spring 2026. Chen's current research interest is the development of a microporous hydrogel contact lens. Outside of academic pursuits, Chen enjoys watching television dramas and playing video games with friends.
