Yadong Yin
Chinese chemistry researcher
Yadong Yin is a Chinese chemist.
Raised in rural China, Yin's interest in science began when his parents asked him to fix radios. Yin earned his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in chemistry at the University of Science and Technology of China in 1996 and 1998, before moving to the United States for a PhD at the University of Washington, where he was advised by Younan Xia. From 2003 to 2005, Yin pursued postdoctoral research at the University of California, Berkeley, guided by Paul Alivisatos. Yin then joined the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a staff scientist for one year, before accepting a faculty position at the University of California, Riverside, where he was promoted to full professor in 2014. In 2026, Yin was appointed deputy editor of ACS Nanoscience Au, and elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Yadong Yin” as chinese chemistry researcher. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as chinese chemistry researcher. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q45342020. VIAF identifies the subject as 305849145. The Library of Congress control number is nb2013027502. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1996, 1998, 2003 and 2005.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
