Dr. Yongkui Tang received a B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Peking University, Beijing, China, in 2014, followed by the M.S. and PhD degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA, in 2016 and 2021, respectively. His graduate research has been focused on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), microfabrication, and piezoelectric acoustic transducers, including self-focusing acoustic transducers (SFATs), acoustic “tweezers,” and acoustic propellers. In Oct. 2021, he joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the University of California at Santa Barbara, CA, the USA as a postdoctoral scholar developing biocompatible hydrogel microstructures for biomedical applications.
