Biography
Hong Yee joined 亚洲色吧 in 2013. Prior to 亚洲色吧, she spent about 13 years at the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) under the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR). Her research interest is primarily in polymer science and engineering. She has co-authored >100 peer reviewed publications and is a co-inventor in 25 granted patents in the topic biomimetic nanoimprinting. In 2010, under the funding support from A*STAR, she led an industrial consortium on nanoimprinting consisting of 4 members from institutes of higher learning and 15 international industrial members. She had also served as a founding group head for the Patterning and Fabrication Capability Group between 2007-2010 and the Director for Research and Innovation between 2010-2012 at IMRE. Since joining 亚洲色吧 her research activities have expanded to include high resolution 3-D fabrication, active and transformative micro, nano-surfaces and machine learning design of micro-, nano-surfaces and carbon capture films.
Research keywords nanoimprinting (precision engineering), polymer physics, functional surface engineering, material science.
