Welcome to the Yin Research Group at UC Riverside. Our group focuses on the synthesis, self-assembly, and functionalization of nanostructured materials for various applications.

• June 2008, James Goebl joined the group from University of Notre Dame.  Lindsey Vick from University of Wisconsin-Platteville also started her summer research in the group.  

• May 2008, Sheba S. Plamthottam, a junior in Upland High School, has won the 4th place in California State Science Fair Competition in the Chemistry category.  Under Jianping's supervision, she carried out a project entitled “Green Preparation and Characterization of Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanocrystals”.

• September 2007, Zhenda Lu and Qiao Zhang joined the group.  Chunguang Li, visiting from Jilin University, also arrived.

   

• August 2007, Tierui's general method for transferring hydrophobic nanocrystals into water has been reported in Nano Lett, and highlighted in Science.

   

• May 2007, Jianping's paper on magnetically tunable photonic crystals was accepted for publication in Angew. Chem. as a VIP (very important paper) and cover article. 

   

• March 2007, the group's first paper by Jianping on magnetite nanocrystal clusters  was accepted for publication in Angew. Chem.

   

• February 2007, Dr. Tierui Zhang joined the group from University of Arkansas.

   

• September 2006, Ms. Yongxing Hu joined the group as the first graduate student.

   

• August 2006, Dr. Jianping Ge joined the group from Tsinghua University. 

   

• July 2006, Dr. Yadong Yin drove down from Berkeley to UCR, and started the group from two completely empty rooms.
