Yinyin Bao is an Associate Professor of Polymer Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry at University of Helsinki, starting from January 2025. Dr. Bao received his PhD degree in Polymer Chemistry (2012) from University of Science and Technology of China. From 2012 to 2014 he completed a postdoctoral research at KU Leuven, and then became a Marie Curie IntraEurapean Fellow in CNRS at University of Paris Sud. Dr. Bao joined ETH Zürich in 2016, and he was promoted to a senior scientist position as a group leader at the end of 2018. Dr. Bao is recognized as 2025 Americal Chemistry Society “Rising Stars in Polymer Science” by the journal ACS Polymers Au. His research interest remains the application of polymer chemistry in biomedicine and optoelectronics, in particular 3D printed medical devices and polymer OLEDs.

Dr. Youbin Zheng received his PhD from Lanzhou University in 2015, and subsequently worked as an Assistant Research Professor at the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (2015-2019). He later pursued postdoctoral research at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology (2019-2023). From 2023 to 2025, he was a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) and Deputy Director of Postgraduate Research in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics at the University of Liverpool, UK, and was also named a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. In 2025, he joined DPU as an Associate Professor and Head of the Laboratory for Life Sciences and Technology (LiST). His research focuses on bioelectronics for personalized health, with a focus on flexible and wearable sensors, microneedle-based biosensing and drug delivery, and self-powered systems for continuous health monitoring.
