Yizhou Shen is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the College of Eng- ineering, Peking University. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanics and M.S. in Aeronautical Engineering from Northwestern Polytechnical University in 2026 and 2022, respectively, and his B.E. in Aircraft Design and Engineering from Nanchang Hangkong University in 2019.

His research interest lies in unconventional wave and vibration phenomena in elastic structures. By integrating concepts from mechanics, physics, and structural design, he develops metamaterials, structures, and surfaces to achieve unusual and highly tailorable dynamic behaviors, including wave guiding, localization, conversion, and other anomalous effects. He is also interested in the fundamental mechanisms behind these phenomena and their applications in low-frequency vibration mitigation as well as high-frequency acoustic and micro/nano-scale devices.
