She moved to Singapore with her family in 1973 where she was a student at Raffles Girls' School. Her family moved to New York when she was 15. She earned a B.Eng. degree, graduating ''summa cum laude'' from Cooper Union in 1987.〔 She then attended Princeton University, receiving her MA in 1988 and her PhD in 1991, both in chemical engineering. She spent a year as a Humboldt Fellow at the Institute for New Materials in Saarbrücken and researched nanocrystalline materials with Herbert Gleiter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.journals.elsevier.com/nano-energy/editorial-board/jackie-yi-ru-ying/ )〕 Ying became a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1992. She was made a full professor in 2001; at 35 she was one of MIT's youngest full professors.〔 Ying returned to Singapore in 2003 to serve as the first executive director of the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, a division of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A *STAR).〔 Her research concerns the biomedical and catalytic applications of nanostructured systems and materials. Ying was elected to the Singapore Women's Hall of Fame in 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jackie Yi-Ru Ying )〕 Ying converted to Islam and mentors Muslim youth in science through Mendaki's Project Protégé. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jackie Yi-Ru Ying」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
