B.S. Computer Science and Engineering, St. Petersburg State Polytechnic University, Russia, 1996
Background and Research
Dr. Yingling was a postdoctoral fellow at National Institutes of Health prior to joining NCSU faculty.
Her group's research interests are focused on the development of advanced computational models and novel algorithms for multiscale modeling of various processes in composite and biological materials. Their specific research projects fall into two categories. The first area entails design and modeling of physical and biochemical properties of novel biological nanodevices and nanomaterials for targeted drug delivery and scaffolds. The process of designing structures from biomolecules also helps to advance understanding of their structure and function in the cell. The second area involves simulation of laser irradiation and photo and chemical degradation of composite and biological materials and the processes at the interface.
