Qingqing He is a joint Ph.D. candidate in Mechanical Engineering at San Diego State University and the University of California, San Diego. Her research focuses on bioinspired additive manufacturing, developing multifunctional hybrid materials and 3D-printed biomedical devices that integrate mechanical strength, sensing, and sustainability. She has published 15 peer-reviewed papers, including eight as first or corresponding author, with highlights such as recyclable piezoelectric composites, programmable hydrogel-crystal materials for soft robotics, and conformal ultrasound arrays for personalized retinal stimulation. Recognized as a Rising Star in Mechanical Engineering by MIT, she is passionate about teaching and mentorship, actively promoting diversity through programs such as MESA, COIL, and STEM Pathways.
Dr. Yang Yang’s research focuses on the machine, materials, and structures development for bioinspired 3D printing. He got the NSF CAREER Award (2025), ASME Rising Stars in Mechanical Engineering Award (2025) and SME Sandra L. Bouckley Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineer Award (2022).
He received his B.S. in Physics from Wuhan University in 2009. He completed the joint Ph.D. at Wuhan University and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in Physics and Bioengineering in 2015. Prior to joining SDSU, Dr. Yang is a Postdoc at The University of Southern California (USC) in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering and Center for Advanced Manufacturing. He has has authored over 75 peer-reviewed publications such as ‘Nature Communications’ ‘Science Advances’, ‘Advanced Materials’, ‘Energy &Environmental Science’, ‘Research’ and he is the reviewer of several journals such as ‘Advanced Materials’, ‘Small’, and ‘Additive Manufacturing’. His work has been supported by NSF Career, NSF and SDSU seed grants.
