Yi Yin is a theoretical physicist who studies the characteristics of quark matter. This type of matter is microscopically described by the fundamental strong force and is created during heavy-ion collision experiments at RHIC and LHC. Currently, he explores the phase, spin, and multi-scale structure of quark matter, which are largely unexplored areas. To investigate these, he develops and employs novel theoretical methods. Some of his formulated frameworks are used to explore other exotic matter, such as Weyl semi-metals. In 2024, he joined The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen as an associate professor.
