Background

Dr. Jinghai Yi received B.A., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in energy and power engineering from Xi’an Jiaotong University in Xi’an, China. After graduating, he worked for the Power Machinery Engineering Department of Shanghai Jiaotong University in Shanghai, China, as a lecturer and postdoctoral fellow. He continued his research in the Mechanical Engineering School at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and Purdue University and in the Petroleum Engineering Department at Louisiana State University. In 2001, he was hired as a mechanical engineer at Doty Scientific before joining BioTechPlex as a senior mechanical engineer. In 2007, Dr. Yi was hired as a senior inhalation engineer for the Technical Research Institute, a subsidiary of Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) Research Institute. The Research Institute operates the Inhalation Facility and Animal Facility at Philip Morris. Dr. Yi then became a research assistant professor and inhalation engineer at West Virginia University before he joined the FDA as a mechanical engineer in 2017. Dr. Yi is a staff fellow and senior inhalation toxicologist in the Center for Tobacco Products (CTP)/National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR) Inhalation Toxicology Core Facility, Division of Biochemical Toxicology.

Dr. Yi received a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant and an NIH National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) subcontract. He was also awarded the Lila Albin Paper Award for 2017 (co-author) and has been awarded two U.S. patents and one Chinese patent.

Research Interests

Dr. Yi’s research interests include 1) inhalation toxicology, 2) aerosol generation and characterization, and 3) design, fabrication, setup, validation, and operation of whole-body and nose-only inhalation exposure systems. He conducts inhalation studies in collaboration with CTP to characterize and quantify the health risk associated with selected chemicals found in tobacco products.
