Yixin Chang's research focuses on the design and synthesis of bio-inspired nanomaterials for biomedical applications.

Yixin Chang completed her bachelor's and master's degrees at Jilin University. Then, she commenced her Ph.D. research under the guidance of Prof. Andrew Whittaker and Dr. Changkui Fu at The University of Queensland in 2020, focusing on the design and synthesis of nanoparticles for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Following the completion of her Ph.D., she joined the Qiao Group in 2024 as a research officer, working on the development of bio-inspired nanomaterials.
