Tzu-Yi Yu
Major in Materials Science and Engineering, National Taiwan University.
My research interests are the self-assembly behavior of soft materials and biomaterials.
Currently, I am applying for Ph. D. program to study in these fields.
My previous researches focus on the synthesis and characterization of polymer materials, including conductive polymers and bio-polymers.

工作經歷
Department of Materials Science and Engineering, National Taiwan University, Master project , Feb 2017 ~ 現在
Thesis topic:
"cellulose-nanofiber/polypeptide composite hydrogel for nerve regeneration"
Advisor:
Professor Wei-Fang Su
I proposed a composite hydrogel system, combining cellulose-nanofiber and synthetic polypeptide, for nerve tissue engineering. I investigated the mechanical properties, microstructure, and the cytotoxicity of these gels. Then, I studied the composition effect on the properties of these hydrogels and proposed a model to illustrate the hydrogels formation and their properties in this system.
Industrial Technology Research Institute, Internship, Jan 2017 ~ Feb 2017
Project topic:
"N-type conducting polymer for organic light-emitting diode"
Advisor:
Dr. Yu-Chieh Pao
The precursor of N-type conducting polymer was synthesized via the amine boc-protection and the Suzuki-coupling reaction, and I optimized the reaction conditions with the highest yield.
Department of Materials Science and Engineering, National Taiwan University, Undergraduate project , Sep 2016 ~ Jan 2017
Project topic:
"Alternating conducting copolymer synthesis for organic photovoltaics"
Advisor:
Professor Wei-Fang Su
With a Ph. D. candidate's suggestion, I modified tetra ethylene glycol into a precursor for the alternating conducting copolymer. I learned about the basics of organic synthesis and practiced them during this project.
