Introduction
https://doi.org/10.1039/D0TB00896F It is my privilege and honor to be highlighted as the Journal of Material Chemistry B's Emerging Investigators for 2020. Together with our group's young budding scientists, Chenxi Zhai, Tianjiao Li, and Haoyuan Shi, we review the discovery and design of next-generation bio-inspired materials by harnessing the virtual space in materials design: materials omics (materiomics), materials informatics, computational modelling and simulations, artificial intelligence (AI), and big data.
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biomaterials.2020.119857 Our unified experimental and computational approach provided underlying insights needed to guide potential therapies for Alport syndrome (AS) that ameliorate the adverse effects from AS disease onset and progression. Patients with AS exhibit blood and elevated protein levels in their urine, inflamed kidneys, and many other abnormalities.
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.memsci.2019.117785 The widespread use of low dimensional carbon membrane for desalination and gas separation is limited by the difficulty to physically realise such membrane designs on a meaningful scale. This review aims to bring together results achieved in this field, hoping to inspire new designs or developments that could bridge this technical challenge. The focus of this paper is on sub-nanometer separation operations such as desalination or gas separation.

http://jingjieyeo.github.io/positions.html I am happy to announce that the website of the J2 Lab for Engineering Living Materials is now live! We're very excited to get cracking in Jan 2020 at the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in Cornell University, and we're hiring one postdoc experienced in multiscale computational simulations to kickstart our lab. Please visit our website for more details!
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coche.2019.02.011 We review the most recent developments in multiscale computational modeling of collagen-based biomaterials to determine their structural, mechanical, and physicochemical properties. Through the materials-by-design paradigm, these developments may eventually lead to rational algorithmic recipes for bottom–up multiscale design of these biomaterials, thereby minimizing the experimental costs of iterative material synthesis and testing.

Mechanicians who would like to follow the proceedings online, I will be live-tweeting updates as the event progresses, so follow me on Twitter at https://twitter.com/JingjieYeo Scheduled to be held from 8 to 10 April 2019, the Century Fracture Mechanics Summit will feature an international line-up of influential and visionary speakers from around the world.
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.memsci.2019.03.062 This work presents the multilayer transverse flow carbon nanotube (CNT) membrane (TFCM), which resembles vertically aligned CNT arrays, as an alternative candidate for efficient desalination. Using molecular dynamics, this work shows that multilayer TFCM can provide permeability and salt rejection on par with its single layer counterpart.
