About Yixin
Yixin was born in Zhengzhou, Henan. She received her BEng in mechanical engineering from the University of Nottingham in 2023 and her Mphil in Energy Technologies from the University of Cambridge in 2025. During her undergraduate studies, she primarily focused on garnet-type solid-state electrolytes for all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries under the supervision of Dr. Ming Li. Her Mphil research focused on improving the power density of thick electrodes by designing novel cathode architectures which is used in lithium-ion batteries, under the supervision of Prof. Michael de Volder. Now, she decided to change the research interest from batteries to energy harvesting, especially moisture electric generators. So, she joins Dr. Shin’s lab to conduct more advanced research in this field. Outside the lab, she enjoys travelling and skiing.
