Biography

Daryl W. Yee, born in Singapore, obtained a Bachelor of Engineering in Materials Science Engineering from Imperial College London in the UK in 2014. He then moved to the United States, where he earned his MSc and Ph.D. in Materials Science from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) between 2014 and 2020. Under the mentorship of Julia R. Greer, and in close collaboration with Robert H. Grubbs, he developed chemistries for additive manufacturing of functional materials. After obtaining his Ph.D., Daryl joined the lab of Robert J. Macfarlane at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as a postdoctoral associate, where he worked on the development of self-assembled nanoparticle superlattices. In March 2023, he joined the Institute of Electrical and Micro Engineering at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) as an Assistant Professor, where his research group focuses on utilizing molecular design and accessible materials processing strategies to engineer advanced functional materials to address societal challenges in healthcare, energy, and climate change.
