I’m Jinyu Fang, a Boston University mechanical engineering student exploring how thoughtful research, analysis, and fabrication can move sustainable technology forward.

About me
I’m a Mechanical Engineering student at Boston University, minoring in Chemistry with a concentration in Energy Technologies & Sustainability.
I’m drawn to the materials-science side of the clean energy transition: how the microstructure of an electrode or the porosity of a battery can be engineered to move real energy systems forward.
My work spans low-tortuosity battery electrodes, carbon-emissions analysis, mechanical testing, and hands-on systems including structural trusses and automated sorting devices.
Battery electrodes, ion transport, and high-energy-density systems.
CAD, rapid prototyping, fabrication, and structural analysis.
Mechanical and chemical characterization using laboratory instrumentation.
Turning environmental data into practical, community-scale action.
