Bio
Dina Polyak. B. Pharm., Ph.D.
I had the pleasure to collaborate with Yilei on a project testing a new non-linear ultrasound technique that Yilei has developed. I was particularly impressed by Yilei’s natural curiosity, he has true love for science and eagerness to learn about different disciplines. He is attentive to suggestions and new ideas and an empowering team player. During my collaboration with Yilei, I learned that he has an eternal patience to convey complex scientific concepts and an outstanding ability to communicate in writing. He is not only a rigorous scientist, but also very reliable and efficient specialist who delivers results promptly. I would not hesitate to work with Yilei again.
