Ben Yao

I am a PhD student supervised by Prof. Raechelle D’Sa and co-supervised by Prof. Yalin Zheng and Dr. Jenny Hanson. I received a B.Eng. in Software Engineering from Xihua University and an M.Eng. in Biology and Medicine from Sichuan University of Science and Engineering, China. My research focuses on the design and fabrication of 3D-printed drug delivery patches for treating ocular surface infections. I am also interested in combining machine learning with biomaterials and 3D printing. Outside of research, I enjoy hiking, photography, and playing the piano.
