01 — About
From nanomaterials to the open road.
Hi! I am Yoko Bian, an amateur barrel racer and theoretical chemist. In my previous life, I focused on the in silico design of proton-conductive nanomaterials.
I’m here to share what I love: deep tech and the western way of life — where frontier science and a pair of boots are never as far apart as they seem.
“Don’t flatter yourself, cowboy… I was looking at your horse.”

Where my attention lives.
Intellectual Property
Patents at the edge of what’s patentable — reading the law as it catches up to quantum computing and new materials.
The Western Way
Barrel racing, boots, and big skies — the discipline and freedom of the western life away from the lab bench.
