Professor Yeh entered the graduate program at the University of California at Berkeley in Chemistry in 1993. He worked with Professor Charles Shank in the study of ultrafast dynamics of novel materials using femtosecond optical pulses. This work included studying the initial energy relaxation events in semiconducting quantum dot/quantum well structures and metal-to-ligand charge transfer compounds.
In 2000, Professor Yeh joined Beckman Laser Institute at University of California, Irvine as a postdoctoral Carcinogenesis Training Fellow. It was here where he first applied his expertise in ultrafast spectroscopy to imaging biological systems using Nonlinear Optical Microscopy (NLOM). Professor Yeh joined the faculty of Texas A&M University as an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering in Fall, 2003 and received the Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award from the National Science Foundation in 2005. His research interests focuses on the development and use of NLOM to microscopically characterize living biological systems and to help bridge understanding of molecular cell biology and chemistry with tissue/organ properties and function.
